Rezension zu „Helen and Desire “
* An extraordinary novel, which celebrates sexuality against a background of feminine identity and liberation. An underground book for too long, it deserves a wider public and will add a lush frisson to the renewed interest in Trocchi -- Edwin Morgan * Trocchi's development of character and story is handled with great sensitivity and really does merit your attention - this is the work of a gifted wordsmith. Scottish Book Review * A spicily pornographic tale - Trocchi has a keen eye for the absurdities of the genre. The tale is also enhanced by an elegant and intelligent introduction by Edwin Morgan. The Scotsman * The outlaw prince of Scottish literature, Trocchi set the standard for all subversives and saboteurs - Helen & Desire has a sophistication unusual for its "porno" genre -- James Campbell The Guardian
