"Story of O" is a collection of over three hundred erotic texts from the pens of writers acclaimed, reviled, and anonymous, lavishly illustrated by artists across the centuries. It builds on the controversial "The Book about Cunt" and expands it to include additional texts and works by contemporary Czech artists. Whether in literature or art, eroticism is an undrained wellspring of imagination and life... The cunt is the path by which one came here and to which one returns throughout one's life. When the penis is erect, it is ready, and when it is ready, it is indecency. Even today there are taboos, and life by its very nature transgresses all limitations... "The pornography of text, artwork, film, and so on does not exist. There is only the pornographic reading of a selected substance. There are only fears and anxieties on the part of the perceiver. One girl is forbidden to recite Bondy at school because... In one gallery, they tape over the wedges and breasts on the canvases because... In one public radio station, "penis over balls" pops up, and immediately the roof is on fire because... Because there's a problem. Your problem. It's not Bondy's fault, or the wedges and the breasts, or the penis over the balls. It's always the hysterics who are to blame. It's always the one who's screaming the loudest. Hence the sequel. Times have changed. For the worse. And the only word that counts is action. So action-action."
