Moravia has a ready, if somewhat specious, rationale for the erotic in his books. "It is the result of our highly industrialized mechanical living. Men have been victimized by their technology ... To them the sexual act is the only natural act left.'' It is hard to see Dino, the dispirited hero, as a victim of technology. He is simply bored and always has been.

A grimy partisan approaches her with scissors drawn. Van twists her arms behind her back. Her bosom heaves. A horrible thought flashes across the spectator's mind. Then they...
