"Sexuality is power," wrote the Marquis de Sade. His virtuous
Justine kept to the rules laid down by men, her reward rape and
humiliation; his Juliette, Justine's triumphantly monstrous
antithesis, viciously exploited her sexuality. This is a world
where all tenderness is false, and all beds are minefields. But now
Sade has met his match. With invention and genius, celebrated
novelist Angela Carter takes on these figments of his extreme
imagination and transforms them into symbols of our time--the
Hollywood sex goddesses, mothers and daughters, pornography, even
the sacred shrines of sex and marriage lie devastatingly exposed
before our eyes. Carter delves into the viscera of our distorted
sexuality and reveals a stunning vision of love that admits neither
the conqueror nor the conquered. It is a dazzling meditation on
women's sexual freedom.
