It tells the story of Gigi, also known as Djinn, who is being schooled by her father to be a perfect slave and mistress.
Running the gamut of unacceptable subject matter from incest to torture, this book abounds with vignettes that explore taboos and their representation in fiction, from the Brothers Grimm to the Marquis de Sade.
It is titillating and disgusting, the work of a
dirty old man or brilliant agent provocateur -- or both.
