Colette herself considered "The Pure and the Impure" her best book,
"the nearest I shall ever come to writing an autobiography." This
guided tour of the erotic netherworld with which Colette was so
intimately acquainted begins in the darkness and languor of a
fashionable opium den. It continues as a series of unforgettable
encounters with men and, especially, women whose lives have been
improbably and yet permanently transfigured by the strange power of
desire. Lucid and lyrical, "The Pure and the Impure" stands out as
one of modern literature's subtlest reckonings not only with the
varieties of sexual experience, but with the always unlikely nature
of love.
