An erotic journey into self discovery and exploration

Originally written and published under a pseudonym, 100 Strokes of the Brush..., was well received in Italy, and later throughout Europe as a revelation, an account of a young Italian teenage girl's first forays into sexual encounters, beginning with a boy she liked, and later involving herself (while still legally a minor) with older men, and then in organized orgies. Melissa P. never looks back with regret in any of her adventures, as her sexual appetite and curiosity grow only larger and more powerful, leading her into what many readers may consider questionable forays. A film version was made of this book in Italy a couple of years ago, never to be seen in the US because of moral and religious restrictions. Nabokov's "Lolita" was for years banned in the United States under obscenity laws. This book makes "Lolita" seem like Walt Disney's Cinderella by comparison. Powerful book. Liberating!

Sexy, dirty, sad

This is a sad book that you cant help reading in the same way it is hard to not look at an auto wreck. At the same time it also has some very erotic moments, but sadly they don't leave you excited... The book just has to much of a dirty , grimy, nasty side to it. The world is a harsh place.

An instant blockbuster in Italy where it has sold over 700,000 copies, and now an international literary phenomenon, 100 Strokes of the Brush Before Bed is the fictionalized memoir of Melissa P., a Sicilian teenager whose quest for love rapidly devolves into a shocking journey of sexual discovery.

Melissa begins her diary a virgin, but a stormy affair at the age of fourteen leads her to regard sex as a means of self-discovery, and for the next two years she plunges into a succession of encounters with various partners, male and female, her age and much older, some met through schoolmates, others through newspaper ads and Internet chat rooms. In graphic detail she describes her entry into a Dante-esque underworld of eroticism, where she willingly participates in group sex and sadomasochism, as well as casual pickups. Melissa's secret life is concealed from family and friends, revealed only in her diary entries.

Told with disarming candor, Melissa P.'s bittersweet tour of extreme desires is as poignant as it is titillating. One Hundred Strokes of the Brush Before Bed is a stunning erotic debut, a Story of O for our times.
