thomasroche 's review for:

Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch
4.0

Just re-read this and I'd forgotten how weird and overwrought it is at points. I still love it, but I think its central romance becomes vaguely tedious halfway through. It is not really a recommended read for those looking for a quick toss; rather, I should think it's of interest to those wanting to delve into the history of esotericism, sexual iconoclasm, turn-of-the-century Germany, and general weirdness.
