I was naked... I ran downstairs. All I could think of was to get away from the bed and from him tattoo and his fingers. I pressed my back against the wall in the living room and shook, from cold and the remnants of my desire." Later, sans boyfriend, Kaysen reflects too briefly on how she's tattoo changed as her desire for sex evaporates, concluding, "when eros goes away, life gets dull."

(Oct.)Forecast: Already the subject of a New York Times piece suggesting this "autopathography" may become the target of a backlash against such transgressive confessions, Kaysen's slight memoir will spark some controversy, but don't expect Girl, Interrupted-level sales.Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.
