A review by grodie
A Parisian Affair and Other Stories by Guy de Maupassant

Before starting this book I had read a review criticising Maupassant's writing of women. After finishing it I find that thread to be particularly interesting because I actually largely really enjoyed the women in these novels. Female sexuality is often framed as something to be enjoyed by nobody, this book doesn't take that approach at all. Thoroughly enjoyed all of the stories, especially Boule de Suif and Mother of Invention.
