...revolutionary. Saira, at once the most sophisticated and confused, shuttles uneasily between her own nation and the U.S., where she has been a Radcliffe student. Tor, the youngest, is a volatile, seething youth who receives his education in Moscow. This sibling rivalry is no mere mix in the Freudian crucible.

Such a reading as Suleiman's illustrates how pornography, like art, lies in the eye of the beholder. The process of intellectual questioning is crucial to transforming cultural values and the kind of sexual...
