Book Description
Dennison Carr is an eccentric millionaire - charismatic, mysterious, successful - and bored. He invents a bizarre game in which he pays a group of handpicked men to seduce women he selects at random from the streets, bars and clubs of London town. The chosen women are diverse - young, old, black, white, married, single - but they all seem to share the same desire for the thrill of no strings sex with a stranger. One of the male seducers, a down-and-out graphic designer named Erskine, is recovering from a recent trauma that has made him averse to relationships. Things begin to unravel when, against the rules of Dennison's game, he begins to develop feelings for one of the women he is paid to seduce - a commitment-phobic jazz singer called Natascha. As they both battle against their aversion to intimacy, and their expanding feelings for one another, neither is prepared for the shocking conclusion that Dennison has planned. PRAISE FOR 'THE SEXUAL LANGUAGE OF STRANGERS''A clever, dark drama.'Esquire 'Brilliant. Inspirational. Flawless.'Laurence Fishburne

Sleeping with Strangers
Author: David Thomson
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 1101971029
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
In this wholly original work of film criticism, David Thomson, celebrated author of The Biographical Dictionary of Film, probes the many ways in which sexuality has shaped the movies—and the ways in which the movies have shaped sexuality. Exploring the tangled notions of masculinity, femininity, beauty, and sex that characterize our cinematic imagination—and drawing on examples that range from advertising to pornography, Bonnie and Clyde to Call Me by Your Name—Thomson illuminates how film as art, entertainment, and business has historically been a polite cover for a kind of erotic séance. In so doing, he casts the art and the artists we love in a new light, and reveals how film can both expose the fault lines in conventional masculinity and point the way past it, toward a more nuanced understanding of what it means to be a person with desires.

Jennifer’s life leaves much to be desired. She’s career driven and absolutely married to her job, though it’s no matter—her situation seems to be going fine for her. She has no complaints, but maybe she just doesn’t know what she’s missing out on. No less, in the hope of finding some much needed time away from work, she decides to take a weekend trip to nearby Las Vegas. On the flight out from Los Angeles, Jennifer finds herself sitting next to an indomitably handsome man—Thomas. She can’t help but drift off into reveries about him, even though she doesn’t even know his name yet. Jennifer believes that’s as far as things will go, but to her surprise, she finds herself engaged in a friendly chat with Thomas that quickly leads to a dinner invitation out on the Vegas strip, which, of course, leads to much more. The feelings of attraction are mutual and neither has any intention of playing coy. As the weekend draws to a close, Jennifer finds herself comforted by the fact that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But will Jennifer’s weekend fling simmer over into much more? Will Thomas’ skills in the bedroom leave Jennifer hooked on, and even a little tied up, by what he has to offer? And is it true that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?
