Journal Entry 1 by AlmaMarceau from Valley Village, California USA on Sunday, May 19, 2002

From the cover:

"Lofting," an erotic novel, is the record of a perceptive and intrepid sensualist, one woman's exploration of the thematic catalogue of fin de siecle eroticism. Rendered in compellingly elaborate detail, its scenes of debauch will delight aficionados of exhibitionism, voyeurism, bisexuality, bondage, flogging and other national pastimes.

"Perhaps no other smut novel of the past quarter century oscillates so vigorously—and with such inflammatory consequence—between the fastidiously academic and the crudely vernacular. Marceau may be the Melville of the money shot."

—Guy de Michelin, Topologie et Saloperie

"Can erotica be intelligent? You bet—Marceau proves it."

—M. J. Rose, author of "Lip Service," "In Fidelity," and "Flesh Tones."


I'll leave it at that: I'm the author, and as such I feel obligated to put the kabosh on my urge to self-tout.
