Description

Freed from the Bastille of convention, an aging aesthete's encounter with female beauty turns tragic in an erotic novel of startling candor. David Kepesh's carefree adventure with Consuela Castillo turns into a maddening sexual possessiveness which plunges him into the depths of deforming jealousy.
