Pornartgraphy "The story of Valérie is not my story or the story of a friend. It is just a collection of stories. Stories that, together, are a real pornographic provocation. I steal them from friends, people I don’t even know, or some who don’t want me to know them. Those stories are, when put together, at the limits of decency. I take them and reshape them like a jeweller reshapes a stolen gem. They all have this in common: they talk about love. Sometimes they describe a love that dwells in the heart, a love that springs from deeper feelings. Often they describe a cruder form of love, one that springs from sex and its many deviations. All resemblance with real adventures and situations is meant. Yet fantasy and imagination have an important role in it. If every chapter tells The Story it is by pure fantasy since names, places and even sometimes the stories themselves, are invented. Everything has been changed except for the plots. So read it now, have fun, and perhaps you will recognize yourself. But never forget that this book is a provocation and a slap in the face of all the hypocritical puritans."
