The Pillow Boy of the Lady Onogoro
by Alison Fell
A sexually frustrated concubine in 11th century Japan finds fulfillment via the erotic stories whispered to her (while she makes love with the married General she serves) by a blind stableboy whom she hides behind the bed. This novel, meant to be a translation of an erotic novel of the period, includes cameo appearances by Sei Shonogon and Lady Murasaki, as well as clever and convincing haiku by the heroine and her friends, a circle of women poets.

Publisher NotesThis clever bit of literary mischief is an "exquisite, exuberant, X-rated" ("Mirabella") novel about an imaginary eleventh-century Japanese writer. Onogoro, poet and concubine of the general Motosuke, hides a stable boy behind the screen at the head of her bed to spice up her love life with her master. Review this book! |
