There is also a movie based on the book.I have never seen it and I don't know who is in it,but most reviews say it followes the story well.Steph,like you I am a big fan of Henry Miller and Anais Nin.Also D.H.Laurence.Did you ever read Lady Chatterley's Lover or Women in Love? I read The Story of O a long time ago and still have the copy.I should probably read it again.
