THE CULT EROTIC CLASSIC

Helen And Desire Zusammenfassung

Helen And Desire Alexander Trocchi

How difficult it is to explain! The terribly mute hunger in our bodies! If I touch my thigh here in the near darkness of the tent my whole body is again instinct with the driving urge that brought me here, and I cannot explain it. As always, it is stronger than fear. For me it has always been that way . . .

When the irrepressible Helen runs away from the small town she grew up in, she discovers a world of excitement and experience beyond even her imagination, from Sydney to Singapore, Bombay, Monte Carlo and the Sahara desert. A subversive and deeply suggestive masterpiece, Helen and Desire is Trocchi's greatest erotic novel.

Helen And Desire Bewertungen

An extraordinary novel, which celebrates sexuality against a background of feminine identity and liberation. An underground book for too long, it deserves a wider public and will add a lush frisson to the renewed interest in Trocchi -- Edwin Morgan
Trocchi's development of character and story is handled with great sensitivity and really does merit your attention - this is the work of a gifted wordsmith. * * Scottish Book Review * *
A spicily pornographic tale - Trocchi has a keen eye for the absurdities of the genre. The tale is also enhanced by an elegant and intelligent introduction by Edwin Morgan. * * The Scotsman * *
The outlaw prince of Scottish literature, Trocchi set the standard for all subversives and saboteurs - Helen & Desire has a sophistication unusual for its porno genre -- James Campbell * * The Guardian * *
