Perhaps the turning point was in Lincoln Park, Chicago, in the summer of 1968. The naked violence of the state, until then aimed against nameless peasants in Vietnamese villages, was now directed against the young demonstrators.

When The Story of O was first published in the U.S. in 1966, there were those who insisted that it was something more than glossy s.-and-m. porn, that every little welt raised on its nameless heroine's body had a meaning all its own. The novel, it was earnestly proposed, explored the paradox that only in slavery can one find perfect freedom.

The Au. said candidly that he was too fond of Leni; while the poor, nameless narrator in The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum repressed all affection for his heroine, denied his own "psyche" until he broke with exasperation at the way his story had eluded his control on page 98 ("Too much is happening in this story"). One would rather trust the unashamed lust of the Au. for his main character which finally...
