004: Gabrielle Wittkop's "The Necrophiliac"


Listen Later

Gabrielle Wittkop's The Necrophiliac is undoubtedly a disturbing novel about a man who has a particular sexual taste for, well, dead bodies. The book is a crash course in the idea of nature forming what and who we are, and how it can be nearly impossible to right the ship once we are down a specific road. 

The Necrophiliac is very similar to Marquis de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom and Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about taboos and transgressive material that is not typically found in books written/published today.
