A MAN FOR THE ASKING

by Catherine Breillat ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 29, 1969

This inflammatory bit by a sixteen year old girl attracted notoriety in Europe as ""the most indecent book of the year"" and with a singleness of purpose and many double entendres (""Penix rises from the ashes"") this charts the ""liquid loves"" of a man for the asking. A Don Juan with a Hermes little black notebook, blue eye lotion, and sweet-almond green cashmere socks. Most of the time he appears without any of them in bed where he is ""daily doubled, laid and parlayed"" with exhausting regularity ...... For those to whom the medium is the massage -- brief bidet reading.
