Personal Review: Return to the Chateau by Pauline Reage
The book was cut into two parts by the publisher withoutPauline Reage's
knowledge. I have read several other reviews by otherreaders here on
Amazon, and just wanted to add some info andimpressions. History-wise,
"Reage" was a very well knownwoman, a feminist in France in the 50s.
She died within the last tenyears. There is a full-length book interview with
her that I own thatis out of print, published when the book was first re-
released in theUSA in the 70s... quite fascinating. So, to clarify, what has
beenpublished on "O" is 1) The original truncated book in Francein the 50s
and USA from the 70s on. 2) The original ending as"Return to the
Chateau" in the late 70s or 80s. 3) Eitherjust before or just after, a rip-off
called "Story of O"Part II that makes "O" into a dominatrix. 4) At least
oneillustrated version of the original book. 5) A film version in the70s --
reviewed in Time Magazine at the time, starring Corinne Clery-- hot, hot,
hot-- and 6) the 10 part Video set sold on Amazon.com --also pretty darn
hot. Contemporaneous with "O" in the 50'sa book called "L'Image" (the
Image) was also published bysomeone rumored to be Reages lover... I
can also say that I find thebook wholly well-written, erotic, fascinating and
interesting, but cannot avoid doing so due to my own interests. Some of
the scenes inthis book, as well as Part I, are quite indelible in my mind.
Oh,well, I am probably at 1000 words. .... ....
