New Yorker on Millet
Judith Thurman reviews The Sexual Life of Catherine M. in the latest issue of The New Yorker. She's not impressed. "Lust is a great and inexhaustible literary subject, but writing graphically about what excites one isn't literature. The same stupid things excite everybody." I don't know about that — for example, Millet doesn't mention the Olsen twins even once in her book. Thurman also complains that the English-language version has been translated "carelessly and in places incoherently." (Note: articles on The New Yorker website tend to disappear quickly.)
