Man In Furs (From Divine Punishment to Punishment Divine)Fantagraphics 2019
(W) Catherine Sauvat (A/CA) Anne Simon
A graphic biography of Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the author whose name came to define the tendency to derive pleasure, especially sexual gratification, from one\'s own pain or humiliation.In 1870, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch published Venus in Furs, an erotic novel revealing the author\'s desire to be dominated by a woman. (And paid homage in the classic Velvet Underground song of the same name.) After the novel\'s success, a woman turns up at his doorstep and offers to take on the role in Sacher-Masoch\'s real life. He completely submits to her, and they get married. Years later, Leopold has remarried and lives a quiet life, far removed from the sexual escapades of his first marriage. Then he learns that his surname, to his detriment, has come to describe a new sexual perversion: masochism. Man In Furs is his story.
This compelling graphic biography is a collaboration between the biographer Catherine Sauvat and the celebrated cartoonist Anne Simon. Simon\'s gentle cartooning perfectly complements Sauvat\'s empathetic script.
