The Pharmacist & Her Daughter

Meet the luscious, voluptuous Laura, petite bourgeoise and respectable town pharmacist. Meet layabout Bob, her exbarman toyboy husband. Meet the twins, Laura’s incestuously precocious the beautiful, sexually incontinent Bertande (B‚b‚) and her anally resourceful brother, Bertrand. And finally, meet Ernest, randy excon cousin of Bob, who comes to stay and becomes the catalyst for wild and shocking sexual anarchy combined with superbly erotic, Feydeauesque farce.Esparbec refuses to be called ‘an erotic writer’, proudly describing himself as ‘a wholehearted pornographer’. Under this title he has published a hundred or so volumes which he calls ‘dirty little books’. But don’t be his deceptively simple writing, with its formidable erotic effectiveness is, in fact, the result of a supreme mastery in the art of licentious expression. A far cry from the arty contortions of contemporary novels, Esparbec practices pure porn with uninhibited joy.
