Despite the apparent blur between “Pauline” and “Paulhan,” Aury said later that her appellation had nothing to do with him. By the way, they are not “prissy” but can have vigorous senual feelings and aspirations within the bounds of that most cherished attribute, “self-discipline”.
“Is O used by René and Sir Stephen, or does she in fact use them, and
all those irons and chains and obligatory debauchery, to fulfill her own dream—that is, her own destruction and death? She toyed with her identity well before The novel was written as a challenge to Paulhan’s dare (or assignment, if you want to call it that). With each chapter, O is brought to a higher level of submissiveness. It has modified some of the details from the original story, but its a good film, it conveys something of the attitudes and emotions from 'O' Make that Dominique Aury.
Although she could talk extensively about sex, her personal life was fairly tame. She insisted that “it would have been wrong to mix what was for so long a time secret with something that was always banal and devoid of interest.” Aury never felt a need to justify the distinction to anyone; it was what she wanted, and it was nobody’s business.
(She said that dressing in a kind of basic uniform made life simpler.) After she has had a depilatory, to please her master, a chain is attached to rings inserted into her labia. (Some insisted, wrongly, that she chose the name because it sounded like the French for “Reacting to Paulhan.”)As for “Réage,” she’d supposedly stumbled upon it in a real estate registry. Doesn’t she bend them to her will?”The novel also featured scenes of women seducing women. Who cares about your book, you self effacing prick?
The book I have written has emphasised the notuion that those with earned self-esteem would “never” do anything anti-social (i.e., they are inately moral beings). If anything, Aury seemed conservative, even severe—and to look at her, you might assume that her sexual fantasies would be as stimulating as staring at a dusty library shelf.The glaring incongruity between her work and her personal life was not lost on Aury. Why should we live at all, as Camus, asked, particularly if there is no larger world around this one?
For her part, O is at first determined to remain as emotionally faithful as she can to Rene. Gallimard promptly refused the work, not wanting to deal with the inevitable (and expensive) hassle of a court case. That was why the pen name was so crucial.
everything you need to sharpen your knowledge of Story of O. There is perhaps release, but not expansion, at least over the longer term.Great article. O was a sad person. The first 60 pages (the ones that Reage claimed to have written “automatically”) do have some “flow” to them, but after O leaves Roissy House, the prose just starts to drag. (I do on my website cursorily).But all of us have to figure out some means of transmuting pain into something higher, or we WILL kill ourselves. Anyone else?As someone active in that lifestyle I am amused at the judgments and pronouncements made by those who are not. She did once joke, however, that she’d considered prostitution as a potential vocation: “I told myself that had to be absolutely terrific: to be constantly wanted, and to get paid besides, how could you go wrong?” she said. I was duly taken to my Housemasters study, where my English teacher explained what he had caught me with and handed the book to him. “Everyone talked about it in private,” the author recalled, “but the press acted as though the book had never been published.”In her 1969 essay “The Pornographic Imagination,” Sontag insisted that “What does a Christian seek but to lose himself in God,” Aury, a devout atheist, once said. In 1969, she would publish a sequel of sorts to O called Retour à Roissy, which included the first novel’s original (unpublished) final chapter, and a third-person account (entitled “Une Fille Amoureuse,” or “A Girl in Love”) about the genesis of O, signed by Réage. It’s something to be for or against
quite a bit like being for or against legalized abortion or federal aid to parochial schools.”Who would suspect that Dominique Aury was Pauline Réage? There is something to be said – maybe not for all, but certainly for myself – for the paradoxical and surprising feeling of freedom that can come along with giving yourself completely to another person who can do what they wish. Many of us look at these practices and see mental illness. When she met Paulhan, Aury was in her early thirties and he was in his fifties. The Story of O shocked readers worldwide with its sadomasochistic love affair written in a style “too direct, too cool, to be that of a woman.” Carmela Ciuraru examines the life of O’s author.. The Story of O begins as O is taken by Rene, referred to repeatedly as "her lover", to an isolated chateau in the French countryside, where she is ritualistically and repeatedly subjected to the constant, at times violent, sexual desires of the men there.
