Rehabilitating Sex in the Post-#MeToo Era

Halfway between novel and essay, a plea for the reconciliation of the sexes.

An influencer, a post, a trial. Accused of sexism, he chooses not to defend himself, but to attack. Not women, but certainties. Against his lawyer’s advice, he turns his hearing into a platform: a critique of how sexual poverty is made invisible, a defence of the flesh, a plea for a harmony of desires.

Halfway between novel and essay, Reconciliation combines courtroom suspense with intellectual controversy. From the intimate to the political, from biology to philosophy, it sketches a sensual utopia: the reconciliation of masculinist frustration with feminist egalitarianism, and the redistribution of pleasure as the promise of a more fulfilling life.

A transgressive, well-documented, iconoclastic text, and a salutary one in a post-MeToo world.

Arthur Vernon

Writer, film director and stage director, Arthur Vernon has spent some twenty years questioning the moral and social constraints that limit sexual fulfilment. He is the author of La Vie, l'Amour, le Sexe and the founder of the Sweet Paradise, a fantasy bar and venue for erotic and libertine shows, where he tries out some of the solutions he proposes in Reconciliation. He appears regularly on Brigitte Lahaie's programmes, first on RMC and then on Sud Radio. https://www.eveil.fr/livres/59-societe/526-reconciliation-rehabiliter-le-sexe-a-lheure-du-post-metoo
