FROM MARCEL AND ME: A MEMOIR OF LOVE, LUST, AND ILLUSION

by Paulette Frankl:

“His dominant French nose gave me pause to fantasize the corresponding length of other body parts.”

“I was startled by his short stature and knocked aback by his pungent bad breath.”

“The open kimono and low cut of his costume revealed his pleasantly hairy chest.”

“From a distance, I thought he was a woman!”

“His flesh was as soft as a jellyfish.”

“I was the object of his feeding frenzy.”

“I was pleased to discover that not all parts of his body were equally subject to the aging process.”

“He was all about control.”

“He cherry-picked his women from an abundant pool of the young and beautiful.”

“‘I’ll call you.’”
