121 Days of Urban Sodom

Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3
I made you a promise and I've never broken my promises to you. I promised you a book. You no longer wanted me, but still you wanted certain sections of my mind. Maybe you can peel me and remove the segments you want and discard the rest.

A fascinating examination of lust and sadism, with a modern and original style, from an exciting new literary writer.

Our unnamed narrator takes her readers through an unusual resolution of lost love-six months after parting from her girlfriend Colette, she's still in pain. So she allows herself one hundred and twenty-one days to recover, while at the same time undertaking a journey into the Marquis de Sade's One Hundred and Twenty Days of Sodom. Thus does our narrator catalogue her fall from the intense emotion of young innocent love to despairing bitter debauchery, and at the same time exposes Sade's role in her own modern life. This novel is not solely an edgy, explicit tale, nor is it merely a sour-sweet love story. This gripping novel breaks all boundaries and knows few confines.
