Whore

Highly descriptive, explicit throughout, beautifully written, deeply shocking, literary quality of the highest level Nelly Arcan's auto-biographical account of the life of Isabella Fortier has achieved fame and recognition in the French language and in French-Canadian society. Yet the book has not featured in the English language and has yet to receive the full recognition it deserves. Recently the French language film "Nelly" has added to the controversy with an explicit depiction of the events accounted for in the book. This is a serious, brilliantly written, book and deserves your full attention. Be under no illusion however the contents and the language is strong and openly discusses the life and work of a prostitute . Buy it, read it but be warned!
