Colette - The Pure and the Impure

L'enchantement of Colette. She called this 'her closest work to an autobiography' and if that's the case then she really did live a life that is ... very interesting. She shows us the underbelly of an 'erotic netherworld' in a way that only Collette can. This is also an NYRB title so you know it's a good book/translation. Lightly read copy.
