Enculee

Rights sold to: Germany (C. Bertelsmann), Italy (Sperling & Kupfer), Spain (Grijalbo).A eulogy of love and sodomy, Enculée is a licentious and tender novel. "You ask me: 'Do you think I'm normal? You know I am not. It is not healthy to want to make love in this way so often. I like to do it this way even more than the normal way. That's not normal is it?' I feel like telling you that I don't give a damn." Young women today remain as fascinated with love as ever. Indeed, they associate it with all kinds of liberal practices and perversions, transgressions and illicit passions. Hence, for instance, the narrator's girlfriend, who offers herself to her lover from behind and loves it... But to want to bring love to the most remote of recesses is to emphasize the paradox of the flesh - as in the "philosophy in the bedroom" where it hints at the "end of the affair." Weaving together a crude and matter-of-fact vocabulary with long, intricate sentences that unravel through brief paragraphs, Enculée treats pornography like a thoughtful exercise fit for dreamers.Pierre Bisiou was born in 1965. Enculée is his first novel.
