Naughty Paris

Former ballet dancer Toni Bently shocked none too few souls with her erotic memoir, The Surrender, "a witty, intelligent, and eloquent exploration of one woman's obsession that will be sure to leave readers questioning their own desires." I can hear you all demanding, "What obession?! Do tell!"

In a word, sodomy.

[Okay folks, no more reading this blog from your work computer!]

Let's all go to her reading at the Village Voice (6 rue Princesse, 6th, tel 01 46 33 36 47) on April 6 at 7pm to not only hear a reading from this bold and beautifully-written memoir, but also to get a peek at who else shows up. My guess is that everyone will be dressed like college professors and ask really academic questions; let's go mix it up a little, ladies!. ;)

The author will be introduced by her French editor, Mark Parent with Editions Buchet-Chastel.
