Peel me a Book
Catherine Millet
"To describe is to disarm. To expose is to own."
The Sexual Life of Catherine M.
The Sexual Life of Catherine M.
Peel the Author
A French art critic, essayist, and memoirist. Millet writes with a detached, almost scientific eye turned on the most intimate of acts. Her work explores sexuality, power, and the slippery border between confession and performance, often blending frank detail with philosophical provocation.
Voice
“I had often heard people say that sexuality was a private matter. For me, the reverse was true: it was precisely through sexuality that I had the feeling of being part of a community.”
This refusal of privacy — the inversion of intimacy into collective spectacle — defines Millet’s voice. Cool and dispassionate, she strips away romance to reveal sex as both performance and belonging.
