O: The Intimate History of the Orgasm.
Jonathan Margolis. Arrow Books. €12.00
Art, our summer minister, has invited us to cast a laughing eye on life, sex and even death. This book will help us do this as we learn about orgasm in the orient, in the early Christian world, from Freud to Lady Chatterly, from Kinsey to the Swinging Sixties, from Fear of Flying to Sex and the City. The general theme is that a "little coitus never hoitus", but it seems that we are often just too tired, particularly the natives of Singapore!
Paul Murray
