Wetlands--an international sensation with more than a million
copies sold worldwide--has been at the center of a heated debate
about feminism and sexuality since its publication last spring.
Charlotte Roche's controversial debut novel is the story of Helen
Memel, an outspoken, sexually precocious eighteen-year-old lying in
a hospital bed as she recovers from an operation. To distract
herself, she ruminates on her past sexual and physical adventures
in increasingly uncomfortable detail. The result is a funny,
shocking, and fearlessly intimate manifesto on sex, hygiene, and
the compulsion to obliterate the covenant that keeps girls clean,
quiet, and nice.
