À propos de cet audio
Toni Bentley danced with Balanchine’s New York City Ballet and is the author of six books—all named New York Times “Notable Books" of the year. She is a Guggenheim Fellow and her essay, “The Bad Lion,” (originally published in the New York Review of Books) was selected by Christopher Hitchens for Best American Essays 2010. The Surrender was the winner of the Charity Erotic Awards Writer of the Year.
Witty, intelligent, and eloquent, The Surrender is an erotic memoir and story of a woman’s unusual path to sexual and spiritual discovery inspired by a powerful exploration of what is perhaps the last remaining sexual taboo, one for which she becomes a compelling advocate.

“Bentley is writing of her rhapsodic experience with sodomy. So some will call this memoir blasphemous, others spiritual; some pornographic, others erotic. What it is, is wonderfully smart and sexy and witty and moving, a tale of unbounded passion that leads to transcendence…. While deeply serious, Bentley is also hilarious.... Bentley’s honesty about the most intimate of subjects is daring and delightful for those willing to follow her to, so to speak, the end.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Toni Bentley...has taken the radical decision to compose a manifesto for anal sex....The Surrender is a brave book—although not because it tackles a ‘taboo’ or because it is frank. Its bravery lies rather in its earnest attempt to do justice to the transcendent dimension of a profane act.”—Zoe Heller, The New York Times
“Ms. Bentley’s new sex confessional is extraordinary.”—Alexandra Jacobs, New York Observer
