Rip's impressions
One of the first novels to ignore sexual morals and boundaries in brilliant prose; an eye opener for the sexually innocent.
first line
I am living at the Villa Borghese. There is not a crumb of dirt anywhere nor a chair misplaced. We are alone here and we are dead.
last lines
(spoiler alert)
I feel this river…its course is fixed
literary tidbits
Someone should do a comparison between this novel and Lady Chatterly's Lover, written about the same time, and see which one used the word "cunt" more than the other.
