...year-old art student in London in the 1950s, Jack Rathbone meets the already established Scottish painter Vera Savage. Thirteen years older, she's a nasty if bewitching specimen--brilliant when she cares to be but also alcoholic, feckless and carnal. The story of their long, dissolute companionship is told to us by Gin Rathbone, Jack's all-too-loving sister, a woman who does not grasp the full dimensions of the tale she is telling...
When he died last week after losing control of his car and crashing it into a wall, the photographer HELMUT NEWTON, 83, deprived the world of one of its most inventive reprobates. In the 1970s his spike-heeled women, cold but carnal, introduced to fashion photography the idioms of black leather and deluxe European decadence.

Not surprisingly, the proceedings are more overtly carnal. The story begins in 1490 when the painter Nicolas des Innocents, whose appetites pointedly contradict his name, is commissioned by the wealthy Parisian Jean Le Viste to design six tapestries glorifying the nobleman's status at court. Nicolas, like most of the characters, is fictional, though a Jean Le Viste...
...coupling practices known as BDSM, which includes not only SM--the erotic enjoyment of inflicting and/or receiving pain--but also BD (bondage/discipline) and DS (domination/submission). BD usually involves physical restraint and a punishment/reward setup (say, Nurse Ratched with a patient). DS relationships are often as emotional as they are carnal. Submissives relish transferring authority over aspects of their lives to others; the submissive might allow the dominant not only to tie her up but even to tell her when she must go to sleep...
