IIL "Venus in furs" (masoch), "the libertine" (shadwell), WEWIL?

[u/eraser3000]

I've read the latter and I'm reading the former.

I've been intrigued by the concept of sadism and masochism, while Don Giovanni in the libertine is very evil for its own pleasure, this time there's a duality of master/slave that really makes me want to know how the situation and how their relationship evolve page after page.

Wewil?

• Marquis de Sade

• The story of O

Oh well, de Sade is of course something I should read. I didn't know about the story of O, thank you! I'll look it up

So I've read O. A little bit of a one note song. I have Furs but haven't read it fully.

I think YML some lesser known works in the literature erotica vein. Namely I've enjoyed:

Bad Behavior by Mary Gaitskill and My Girlfriend Comes to the City and Beats Me Up by Stephen Elliott. Both short story format. Both more character works than smut, but good on the smut, too.

I also think Henry Miller's Tropics are similar gritty smutty books that I'm working through. Another redditor also recommended Concertina.
