I marked some terrific passages, but the book is on the balcony and it's late. Extremely impressive layers of imagination and the sense that she writes with utter freedom, whatever control she exerts seems more the control of the deeply inhabiting voices she's rendering.

The highlight of the book so far is Sade's imagined carnival Paris, with its weeklong festival of the prostate among other celebrations, and the invention of a new color designated Neptune's balls.

In an interview in his Collidescope published last Sunday, George Salis asked Ducornet about blasphemy. I don't recall the context, but somehow this book didn't come up, which makes me wonder about her other books. Thus far the book is beautifully unrestrained, certainly blashpemous is such is still possible.
