La sonrisa vertical Arguably the most famous 19th-century queer erotica, but definitely not the best! Reading this has given me a better sense of where something like [b:Sins of the Cities of the Plain|119666|Sins of the Cities of the Plain|Jack Saul|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1347797205s/119666.jpg|115215] stands, which I had not originally been able to give a rating to. This one was attributed to Oscar Wilde and his circle which is why it is well-known, but his affiliation with it is a bit dubious and I'd rather dissociate him from it now that I've read it in full. For pornography it is really not good. The focus is really the story, Des Grieux falling in love with Teleny and then all sorts of melodramatic near- or actual-suicides. And when the porn does happen, it is seldom even... desirable. The following spoiler-warning is actually a trigger-warning for non-consensual sex, sexual injury, and gore: Also, there are way more women in this one. In that women are actually present (not just men in fancy dresses). Unfortunately, this leads to a display of some of the worst examples of gay misogyny you could ask for. Women's bodies are described in detail, but as the most disgusting thing you could witness. Teleny sleeps with a woman then treats her with disgust for sleeping with him so easily. Des Grieux is willing to assault the servant girl just for the sake of having an 'ordinary' sexual experience and to 'treat' his homosexuality. Yeah, don't read this book. There's much better Victorian porn out there. I'm looking forward to reading my colleague's Fanny and Stella, which I drunkenly requested a copy of and which, while not forming a part of my thesis the way that these others do, I think will be a good antidote to Teleny. En Teleny, la obra maldita de Oscar Wilde, el autor hace un dibujo de sí mismo y de su contrafigura: un seductor insistente y un infiel constante, un celoso enamorado y un amante enardecido, un iniciador en los juegos eróticos y un discípulo aventajado. Si su desprecio por las leyes de la sociedad victoriana habían de costarle la cárcel y el entierro en vida, la confesión novelada de sus amores iba a convertir a Teleny en la obra más prohibida y en vano silenciada del autor de Dorian Gray. For a book about the love between two men, they managed to fit in a lot of straight sex and even a lesbian orgy. In fact, I was surprised to see that there was no man-on-man action until halfway through the book. Anyway, I enjoyed this for the myriad of biblical and mythological references. It seemed like I could hardly turn a page without some comparison to Lot, Antinous, Jonathan, Penelope, the River Styx, etc. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
