Amar a Lawrence

Catherine Millet, author of the scandalous The Sexual Life of Catherine M., delves into the work of D. H. Lawrence, author of the once scandalous Women in Love and Lady Chatterley's Lover. Why Lawrence? Because the British writer explored the theme of female desire like few others, he questioned the morals of his time and was a transgressive writer. Here is the link with the French author and the reason for her interest in him and his work. Millet has spent two years reading not only Lawrence's novels but also his poetry, short stories, and his letters. And she has analyzed the various biographies written about the character and the testimonies of various women who were related to him. The in-depth study of all this material has served him to address the writer's vision of sexuality, his life as a utopian and nomad, his explorations of the forbidden, his political ideology and the love relationships he maintained throughout his life. lifetime. The result is a fresh take on Lawrence that dismantles old clichés. But, when inquiring into the life of the British, Millet ends up also talking about herself, and the book becomes a stimulating mixture of essay and autobiography in which two authors converge -the scholar and the studied- separated by time, but united by an interest in exploring the mysteries of female desire.
