  Interview: Catherine Millet | By genre | Guardian Unlimited Books
Catherine Millet has bosoms that, as she has said herself, are not 'resplendent'.
Millet could easily be viewed as a post-fem player, much needed on a field cluttered with Bridget Jones clones, narcissistic una-woman celebrities and idiotic chick-lit types who have created a repressive atmosphere where women never see romance for the lust that it is, where questions are no longer asked and progressive political thought is nonexistent.
Millet had not launched herself from a feminist or political springboard, and her book may well fit into Barthes's 'author is dead' notion where the reader is the creator of meanings.

 CATHERINE MILLET
Catherine abandoned her reading of a Hemingway novel when she discovered that the heroine has multiple lovers, and she reacted with hostility to an atypical confidence from her mother, who casually remarked one day that she had slept with seven men.
To be clear: Catherine M. began at the age of 18 to have sex with multiple partners when her first lover suggested it, and has continued to make herself available to groups either at private encounters or in public places, as arranged by her current lover.
Millet is for the most part aware of the pitfalls of her tendency toward submission, describing the expansion of her own repertoire for sexual satisfaction over time, and her happy discovery of successful self-pleasure.

 village voice > books > Catherine Millet The Sexual Life of Catherine M. by Joy Press
Catherine Millet is the new literary libertine, although at 54 she's not exactly an ingenue.
The book is full of disturbing scenes in which Millet lies at the center of a throng while strangers penetrate, lick, and caress her.
So either Millet is being dishonest, or she enjoys playing hide-and-seek with the reader, refusing to resolve publicly some of the deeper psychosexual issues that rumble through this seemingly self-revelatory book.

Then we would probably be somewhere in the interior world of Catherine Millet, author of The Sexual Life of Catherine M., a brittle, distant memoir of a voracious and oddly passive erotic life filled with orgies, swinging and various other forms of sex al fresco.

 Amazon.ca: The Sexual Life of Catherine M.: Books: Catherine Miller   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Millet is too busy describing the literal nuts and bolts, the grunts and bumps of (resolutely heterosexual) sex to produce eroticism on a par with her obvious models, Pauline Reage’s Story of O and Georges Bataille’s Story of the Eye, which leaves The Sexual Life of Catherine M feeling rather naughty, but strangely dated.--Jerry Brotton
Catherine Millet, a middle aged Frenchwoman of quite singular enthusiasm and enterprise, manages to push the envelope of erotic abandon quite beyond all previous estimates.
Catherine M is thusly hailed as a pioneer, breaking apart gender stereotypes.

 Sex, Boredom, Death | Books | The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
Catherine Millet picked sex as her existential hobby and that is what she writes about in her memoir, The Sexual Life of Catherine M.
On the contrary, it is an explicitly autobiographical account by a fairly famous intellectual personality (Millet is a well-known art critic in France), though one that is told in the mode of anonymity.
It is a tool for the construction of an alternative sort of community, based not on a consensus of minds but on a convergence of bodies, their articulation into giant networks of flesh.

Millet, art critic and editor of Art Press, has become a literary sensation in France with the publication of this graphic memoir of some 30 years of her sexual adventures.
Millet and her readers are then free to consider more closely some questions she raises: how oral sex compares to vaginal intercourse; why sex in disgusting circumstances is not about "self-abasement," but raising oneself "above all prejudice"; or why solitary sex is more pleasurable for her than sex with a partner.
Well Catherine M. was not interested in conventional sex, she was involved in countless acts of group sex, orgies and sex clubs.

 Gavin Keeney: Catherine Millet, Getting Screwed in Paris
Some of these intellectual positions are more telling than the sexual calisthenics of the book, and, in one notorious case, they place her more definitively on the slutty side of things than any of the manifold tales of nonstop debauchery.
Millet enlisted the assistance of the so-called League of the Rights of Man (part of the Radio 1 posse), a group one may now wonder further about given Millet's penchant for gang-banging her way to notoriety.
Unfortunately, and in the tradition of the roman a clef, the protagonists/beneficiaries of her wide-ranging sexcapades are "masked", in the manner of the grand orgy in Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.

Of course, I'd pay cash money to hear Catherine Millet read these lines, but from what I gather she usually performs for free.
The Catherine in my piece is a very two-dimensional version of the Catherine in the book (who, truth be told, is somewhat of a cipher, too).
In this piece, of course, part of the joke is that I'm beating it into the ground, in that Catherine seems to have only one thing on her mind: S-E-X. But, once you've made that point, it's best to wrap things up quickly, before the reader gets bored or ahead of you.
