Product Description

Review

'These tales are night-pieces... amoral, vindictive and unforgiving... The seven tales were written to disturb and provoke. I want my readers to revisit the cliches of sexuality and violence, to read them afresh - and to think again' Patricia Duncker --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


Financial Times

‘This collection of stories confirms Patricia Duncker as one of Britain’s leading fiction writers . . . She should be required reading’ --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating tales, 8 Sep 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Seven Tales of Sex and Death (Hardcover)
These tales give us all the hallmarks of Duncker's fine writing and I couldn't put it down - wonderfully erotic and powerful stuff. Definitely one I'd recommend!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not one of her best..., 25 Jan 2009
By Harry Matlay "Professor Dr" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really dislike this collection of `stories'... it is definitively not one of Duncker's best publication. After the first story (acceptable...) the decline is fast and irrevocable. Everyone dies, one way or another, and some have sex... occasionally... and this is supposed to be the link between these disjointed and utterly boring narratives...? I think not! Erotic...? Absolutely not!
Some of these stories are obviously Francophile and tediously so... And I resent the unnecessary Q & A sessions, full of clichés and just thrown in for effect (such as on p.161): "How many are there? Two people, both wearing dark glasses. Does Monsieur Barthez advertise? Yes, in Le Monde, the holiday supplement. No water in it, though? Or has he filled it up? Of course he's filled it up." And so on, all this in the course of half a page...
In this `book' Duncker is definitively scraping the crumbs off her bottom drawer...
