A different kind of book porn! Have you ever wanted to have a manic and sexy affair with someone who'll read to you in bed, read to you while you masturbate, read to you while you fuck? Let me seduce you as I strip while reading to you about the lives of the mad wives who became muses to the male literary figures of modernism. Let me be your mistress, your muse, yours.

In 'Heroines' by Kate Zambreno, published by Semiotext(e), the author describes her feelings of both helplessness and desire as she marries a writer and finds herself following him from town-to-town for teaching gigs, ignoring her own needs, and researching the archives of all the mad literary wives who came before her.

A one-handed read, stories printed on pages smeared with lipstick and cum. A dramatic but playful reading, bringing myself to orgasm as I read about the author's fantasies of affairs, of sexual awakenings, of her own sticky pages in library books. I slooowly get naked as I read. Watch me cum as I read about poetry, and squirt as I read about Anaïs Nin's infamous diaries and erotica. Moaning, shuddering, even almost weeping as I tell you about the desire to be studied like a literary character, to be psychoanalyzed, and to be the psychoanalyst, too; on idealizing the apparently open marriages of modernism; and the search for a way to be free, to be an artist, to be art itself.
