Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | A 1954 erotic novel by Anne Desclos, written under the pseudonym "Pauline Réage", The Story of O is by far the most famous and generally considered the best-written piece of BDSM pornography. She wrote it to win back her lover, Jean Paulhan. The novel has become a major source of tropes for later BDSM works, although most of what Desclos describes existed in previous pornography. (The plot itself is closest to Marquis de Sade's Philosophy In The Bedroom.) Predictably, it was a major target of criticism by the French government, who tried to ban it, and later by (some) feminists, many of whom argued that the book was obviously written by a man. Desclos remained anonymous for four decades, during which time several movie adaptations were made, and someone else even published a sequel under the "Pauline Réage" pseudonym. She finally came clean in an interview with the New Yorker. |
