Summary

In "Woman and Puppet, Etc," Pierre Louÿs delves into the intricacies of desire and obsession, intertwining themes of love and manipulation within a richly textured narrative. The novella is distinguished by its lyrical prose, showcasing Louÿs's mastery of symbolism and sensuality, which invite readers to explore the psyche of its protagonist as he grapples with his infatuation for the elusive and enchanting puppet-woman. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century fin de siècle Paris, this work captures the decadence and complexity of an era obsessed with artifice and eroticism, positioning it within the broader literary movement of Symbolism and the emerging realms of Modernism. Pierre Louÿs was a pivotal figure in the literary circles of his time, known for his fascination with the female form and the subtleties of eroticism. His travels and engagement with classical literature and art informed his explorations of gender dynamics and the male gaze. Louÿs's background in philosophy and his friendships with contemporaneous literary giants underscore the intellectual rigor behind his provocative themes in "Woman and Puppet, Etc." This book is a must-read for those interested in the intersections of love, art, and obsession, offering profound insights into the human condition. Readers will find themselves captivated by Louÿs's ability to render the intricate dance of desire, elevating this novella to a timeless exploration of the complexities of beauty and illusion.

    We like to do things as a couple, but I think sex in front of my husband Clark’s understudy Anthony was maybe a step too far. I’m helping Clark paint the dining-room with Anthony, but in my short skirt perhaps I shouldn’t be going up the stepladder.Clark pulls down my panties as a joke, but the joke soon turns naughty. I’m giggling and embarrassed but the look on Anthony’s face has got me excited. Clark thinks it might be time to involve Anthony in our sinful sessions, but that means Clark has to find a whole new place on my body to call home. Listen as I put them both inside me together and try it naughty for the first time, discovering something about Anthony that not even my husband knew!
