Status Updates From Venus in Furs

Once the story hits its stride, the prose is quite good. Very readable for how heady the language is.

Thank you, Project Gutenberg. Been wanting to read this one for years, I love the Velvet Underground. I’m not terribly impressed so far, but we’re early.

Book full of disaster biseuxals

This book is comedy I need like an Alice Lowe or Anna Biller take on it

Love how Wanda meets this masochistic nerd king and she starts fujoing out about him lmaooo

“the bewitchingly beneficial influence that cats exert on highly sensitive and intelligent people; this has made these long-tailed graces of the animal kingdom, these sweet, spark-spraying electric batteries the darlings of a Mohammed, a Cardinal Richelieu, a Crébillon, a Rousseau, or a Wieland.”
“So a woman wearing fur,” cried Wanda, “is nothing but a big cat, a charged electric battery?”

Helpppp

I don’t think it was the author’s intention but I can definitely see how Severin is objectifying Wanda and irritating her lol

“A long pause. She was surely reciting a long monologue, which, translated into my language, could be summed up in a single word: “Ass.”

WELL
