"I'm fed up with talking to strangers about anal sex. But it will be a strong subject. And it will be sick, obviously."- quote from Charlotte Roche about the new book she has just started writing. www.sundaytimes.co.uk/books
But never mind her next book for now, it's her current book "Wetlands" ("Feuchtgebiete" to give it it's German name) which is causing a big stir, causing women to faint at public readings and being praised by some as a feminist masterpeice and denounced by others as a masturbation pamphlet.
Charlotte, a dainty, giggly brunette with the manners of a countess was born in the UK and moved to Germany with her parents as a young girl, hence its publication, so far only in German. But fear not, English speakers will also be able to faint when it is published in English on Thursday 5th Feb and is expected to be a sell-out. The article is interesting, the book obviously deals with very taboo subjects.
I'm off to Amazon to get my order in.
