Man In Furs by Catherine Sauvat
In 1870, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch published Venus in Furs, an erotic novel revealing the author's desire to be dominated by a woman. (And paid homage in the classic Velvet Underground song of the same name.) After the novel's success, a woman turns up at his doorstep and offers to take on the role in Sacher-Masoch's real life. He completely submits to her, and they get married. Years later, Leopold has remarried and lives a quiet life, far removed from the sexual escapades of his first marriage. Then he learns that his surname, to his detriment, has come to describe a new sexual perversion: masochism. Man in Furs is his story. This compelling graphic biography is a collaboration between the biographer Catherine Sauvat and the celebrated cartoonist Anne Simon. Simon's gentle cartooning perfectly complements Sauvat's empathetic script.From 1992 through 2011, Anne Simon taught Medieval and Early Modern German Literature and Culture at the University of Bristol. She is currently a Lecturer in German at the University of London's Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies. Nuremberg from the Middle Ages to the Present; Travel Literature from the Middle Ages to the Present; hagiography; and the link between text and image are among her key academic topics.
