About the author

Alexander Trocchi

50 books106 followers
Alexander Trocchi was a Scottish novelist and editor. He lived in Paris in the early 1950s and edited the literary magazine Merlin, which published Henry Miller, Samuel Beckett, Christopher Logue and Pablo Neruda, among others. Although he was never published in Merlin, American writer Terry Southern (who lived in Paris from 1948-1952) became a close friend of both Trocchi and his colleague Richard Seaver, and the three later co-edited the anthology Writers In Revolt (1962).

His early novel Young Adam (1954) was adapted into a film starring Ewan McGregor and Tilda Swinton in 2003.

Je zou dit boek beter 'de sex avonturen van Peggy en Doreen' kunnen noemen, want daar gaat het immers over. Ik had dit boek op mijn lijstje staan omdat hij in de Volkskrant werd aangeraden door Sylvia Witteman, maar, voor mij, ontstijgt het het niveau van een damesromannetje niet.
Peggy en Doreen wonen op het Ierse platteland waar alles, en zeker de moraal en zeden, worden bepaald door de dominee. Peggy gaat als eerste naar Dublin en wordt in de trein al onzedelijk betast onder het uiten van kreetjes als 'meneer, wat doet u nu?'. Daarna wordt het alleen maar erger. Ik vraag me af wat voor beeld de schrijver van vrouwen heeft dat hij er op deze manier over schrijft. Zonde van de tijd deze.
