'A rare thing, a pornographic book well written and without a trace of obscenity' * Graham Greene *
'A remarkable piece of work' * Harold Pinter *
A highly literary and imaginative work, the brilliance of whose style leaves one in no doubt whatever of the author's genius...a profoundly disturbing book, as well as a black tour-de-force * Spectator *
Here all kinds of terrors await us, but like a baby taking its mother's milk all pains are assuaged. Touched by the magic of love, everything is transformed. Story of O is a deeply moral homily * J.G. Ballard *
