Since its debut in February, the novel (Feuchtgebiete, in German) has sold more than 680,000 copies, and is the biggest selling book on Amazon anywhere in the world. The book is a headlong dash through every crevice and byproduct, physical and psychological, of its narrators body and mind. Wetlands opens in a hospital room after an intimate shaving accident. It gives a detailed topography of Helens hemorrhoids, continues into the subject of anal intercourse and only gains momentum from there, eventually reaching avocado pits as objects of female sexual satisfaction and - here is where the debate kicks in - just possibly female empowerment. Clearly the novel has struck a nerve, catching a wave of popular interest in renewing the debate over womens roles and image in society.

This is bunk. ( ) skroah Dec 14, 2020 Well, it was what it was and she either had her hand up her cunt or up her arse just about most of the time. Whatever, but there sure was a lot of that stuff, more than anywhere else I have yet to read. ![]() And somewhere along the way I kinda thought that the whole point of it was of course she did. I found none of it shocking or disgusting, I mean, who hasnt had their fingers in the their own, or someone elses, orifices at some point or another and revelled in it Well, I have but never enough to write a whole book about. I did like the subtext of the parents story and was a bit sorry there wasnt more substance to it, maybe I should have said I wished the parents had been more solid and not just another smear on the wall. Ken-Me-Old-Mate Sep 24, 2020 Reading The Wetlands made me think of a comment I once saw posted on a slightly seedy internet comment board in which some guy bemoaned the fact that French and German porn actresses tended to bore him because they were too comfortable with sex. Watching them go at it, he said, was sort of like watching them do aerobics, albeit using some unusual equipment. It got me thinking: maybe you can be too comfortable with sex It might be lapsed Catholic in me talking, but maybe the idea that our naughty bits are indeed naughty adds something important to our sexual experiences. The explicit elements of this book have probably been described by other reviewers at length, so I wont go them here, save to say that Helen Memmel, our protagonist, has such a blas attitude towards her own body that it verges on disassociation. Forget a mind-body connection: Helen describes her body as if its a piece of furniture and hasnt yet secreted a bodily fluid she isnt perfectly at home with. Perhaps the authors trying to desacrilize the body or normalize its functions, or maybe shes trying to tweak Americans supposedly overly puritanical conceptions of their own bodies. Either way, it makes The Wetlands a pretty flat and unexciting read. ![]()
