Title : Jewish Cock - Katharina Volckmer - book
Summary
Lying down with her legs spread, a young woman watches Dr. Seligman's balding head as he examines her. She launches into a completely off-the-wall monologue, telling him about her fantasies, her obsessions, the details of her sex life, and her family history. Born in Germany, she fled her parents to settle in London, where she now lives, speaking in a language that isn't her own and struggling with a body that suffocates her more and more each day. When her grandfather dies, she realizes she can't escape her heritage and the guilt of growing up in a German family after the Holocaust. Exiled in her body, exiled in the United Kingdom, she decides to recount her transition and ward off the silence with laughter. She describes to Dr. Seligman her fascination with Mr. Shimada (a Japanese sex toy designer), her sessions with Jason (her shrink, as incompetent as he is desperate when he has to wisely listen to his patient's Hitlerian obsessions) and of course her great love story with K (a married man who turned the young woman's life upside down after they met in a public restroom...). Between the discovery of edible squirrels and the art of oral sex, between an intrusive mother and the Führer's pajamas, she shakes off conventions to pursue her wildest dream: to regain her freedom - and to treat herself to a circumcised penis. Already a cult classic in many countries, Jewish Cock is an explosive novel that was acclaimed by critics and leading contemporary authors upon its release. Following in the footsteps of Thomas Bernhard, Katharina Volckmer explores German guilt, gender issues, the enslavement of our bodies, and the danger of taboos erected as moral barriers. A powerful text that heralds the birth of a major writer.
