Elula Perrin, Chefin des weltbekannten Pariser Nachklubs "Le Katmandou", den nur Frauen betreten dürfen, erzählt in diesem Buch rückhaltlos die Geschichte ihres Lebens. Erzogen wurde die in Indochina geborenen Elula in strengen französischen Klosterschulen. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ging sie nach Paris, um Jura zu studieren, aber bereits wenige Wochen später schloß sie sich einer Schauspielertruppe an. Nach einigen unbefriedigenden Affären heiratete sie mit neunzehn Jahren. Bald darauf hatte sie ihr erotisches Schlüsselerlebnis mit einer Animierdame in Casablanca. Von diesem Augenblick an führte Elula das Leben eines weiblichen Don Juan, immer auf der Suche nach neuen lesbischen Abenteuern.. (Verlagstext)

Problématique c’est le seul mot qui me vienne en tête.
Je m’attendais à un récit féministe dans ce roman autobiographique et ce n’était pas du tout le cas. Eulalie reproche aux hommes des paroles et actions qu’elle a reproduit elle-même avec ses nombreuses compagnes. Ce récit fait l’apologie du colonialisme, décrit des actes de violence physique et psychologique qu’elle a infligé à d’autres.
Bref… ce n’était pas du tout ce que j’avais imaginé.

Honestly very entertaining to read. The storytelling is often messy and I got lost quite a few times, and a lot of her opinions are considered very problematic today, but considering this was written in the 70s it could’ve been worse. I also found that oftentimes she might voice an opinion completely contradictory to her belief a few chapters back.
I really enjoyed getting to learn about the real-life lesbian scene decades before I was born, it made me feel a sweet kind of way. I love the way Elula Perrin talks about women and how impulsive and passionate she seemed to be. I really wish I could have a conversation with her, and hear even more about her life and feelings.

Realmente no sé muy bien como puntuar este libro....

5/5 por lo transgresor del momento pero al leerlo actualmente hay que pasar por alto demasiadas cosas.....

Es diferente de lo que me esperaba, un poco como un diario personal centrado en las conquistas sexuales (?), en lugar de las reflexiones sobre la vida. Un poco como versión de una lista de exparejas en una aplicación de notas del móvil versión libro 😅

While I appreciate Elula’s effort to share her story and I found it quite fascinating she also carries a lot of problematic and frankly transphobic sentiments that rubbed me the wrong way while I was reading this. Given it was written in the 70’s I guess that’s to be expected sadly.
