Summary

I would consider it scandalous if Hoex's fiction is still unknown in the world literature canon ten years down the road. --Lee Yew Leong, Asymptote Journal

Gentlemen Callers Summary

Gentlemen Callers by Corinne Hoex

Every night when she goes to sleep, a woman dreams of erotic encounters with different men. She dreams of being the sponge squeezed to foaming in a gas station attendant's hand, and of twining her bare skin with a sea lion's thick pelt under the watchful eye of the sea lion trainer. From a gas station attendant to a sea lion trainer, a watchmaker to a teacher, a furrier to an astrologer, each evening's new encounter is more sensual and extravagant than the last.

Gentlemen Callers Reviews

Brought into English by Caitlin O'Neil, Corinne Hoex's sensuous-and sensational-Gentlemen Callers is full of exquisite treats, rivaling Belgian compatriot Amelie Nothomb's wit, humor, and imagination.... it's gems like this that remind me that there's still much to discover from smaller, less heard-from countries within Europe. I would consider it scandalous if Hoex's fiction is still unknown in the world literature canon ten years down the road. --Lee Yew Leong, Asymptote Journal
