ESCAPISM CHAPTER AND UNMASKING OF ARTIFICIAL LIVES IN 1 DEBORAH LEVY’S SWIMMING HOME Kubilay GEÇİKLİ Deborah Levy’s Swimming Home, a novel shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize in 2012, is about the unexpected as well as disturbing intrusion of a woman called Kitty Finch into the broken lives of two couples, one with a daughter, who intend to spend their holidays sharing a vacation house in the south of France in 1994, and lives of other people who happen to have their holiday around the same time in that summer place. A weird woman, Kitty Finch is found naked by the vacationers in the pool of the house one day and is suspected of being dead; however, she is too alive to die without raising questions in the minds of the novel’s characters and in a sense shaping as well as shaking their lives. She soon walks out of the water, intrudes into the lives of these people and turns into the ghost at the feast. The dysfunctional families and relations between characters provide her with enough material as a matter of fact. Joe Jacobs, a famous poet and a Polish émigré, his wife Isabel, a war correspondent who has fre- quently been away from her family because of her job, their daughter Nina, and their friends Mitchell and Laura, who own an antique shop in London about to go belly up, all wonder who this Kitty is and why she has entered their lives with no apparent reason except for her being a fanatical reader of Joe Jacobs. Her occasional nakedness serves not only as an image for the revelation of secrets and desires kept hidden by the lives of the people in and around the villa. the characters of the novel but also as a warning against and protest of artificiality in 1 by John Self, Kitty soon proves to be the person who stirs up the hornet’s nest. Interestingly enough, she is allowed to do so byDefined Isabel’s as permission; “the engine inof fact,the book”Isabel seems to have been waiting for someone to intrude into their lives. As a woman losing her feminine qualities, Isabel does not only invite Kitty to her house but also her femininity and sexuality.

How- ever, she is at the same time someone who forces people to take off their masks behind which they hide and which they wear to pretend to maintain their lives well in the eyes of people. Escapism has turned out to be a way of maintaining their lives for these people; especially those in the villa escape the realities of life simply in order not to face those realities.

  • Appendix 1: Selected Films
    Appendix 1: Selected Films The very random selection of films in this appendix may appear to be arbitrary, but it is an attempt to suggest, from a varied collection of titles not otherwise fully covered in this volume, that approaches to the treatment of sex in the cinema can represent a broad church indeed. Not all the films listed below are accomplished – and some are frankly maladroit – but they all have areas of interest in the ways in which they utilise some form of erotic expression. Barbarella (1968, directed by Roger Vadim) This French/Italian adaptation of the witty and transgressive science fiction comic strip embraces its own trash ethos with gusto, and creates an eccentric, utterly arti- ficial world for its foolhardy female astronaut, who Jane Fonda plays as basically a female Candide in space. The film is full of off- kilter sexuality, such as the evil Black Queen played by Anita Pallenberg as a predatory lesbian, while the opening scene features a space- suited figure stripping in zero gravity under the credits to reveal a naked Jane Fonda. Her peekaboo outfits in the film are cleverly designed, but belong firmly to the actress’s pre- feminist persona – although it might be argued that Barbarella herself, rather than being the sexual plaything for men one might imagine, in fact uses men to grant herself sexual gratification. The Blood Rose/La Rose Écorchée (aka Ravaged, 1970, directed by Claude Mulot) The delirious The Blood Rose was trumpeted as ‘The First Sex Horror Film Ever Made’. In its uncut European version, Claude Mulot’s film begins very much like an arthouse movie of the kind made by such directors as Alain Resnais: unortho- dox editing and tricks with time and the film’s chronology are used to destabilise the viewer.

  • Naked Came the Stranger - Wikipedia
    Naked Came the Stranger - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_Came_the_Stranger Naked Came the Stranger From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Naked Came the Stranger is a 1969 novel written as a literary hoax poking fun at the American literary culture of its time. Though credited to "Penelope Ashe", it was in fact written by a group of twenty-four journalists led by Newsday columnist Mike McGrady. McGrady's intention was to write a book that was both deliberately terrible and contained a lot of descriptions of sex, to illustrate the point that popular American literary culture had become mindlessly vulgar. The book fulfilled the authors' expectations and became a bestseller in 1969; they revealed the hoax later that year, further spurring the book's popularity.[1] Contents 1 Hoax 2 Synopsis Cover of reissue of Naked Came the 3 Reception Stranger 4 Further reading 5 See also 6 References 7 External links Hoax Mike McGrady was convinced that popular American literary culture had become so base—with the best-seller lists dominated by the likes of Harold Robbins and Jacqueline Susann—that any book could succeed if enough sex was thrown in. To test his theory, in 1966 McGrady recruited a team of Newsday colleagues (according to Andreas Schroder,[2] nineteen men and five women) to collaborate on a sexually explicit novel with no literary or social value whatsoever. McGrady co-edited the project with his Newsday colleague Harvey Aronson, and among the other collaborators were well-known writers including 1965 Pulitzer Prize winner Gene Goltz, 1970 Pulitzer Prize winner Robert W.
