Tony Duvert

    July 2, 1945 – July 2, 2008

    Tony Duvert was a French writer whose work primarily explored the rights of children to their own bodies and sexuality. These themes, which were central to his essayistic work, also profoundly shaped his novels. His writing often provoked reflection on societal norms and structures, earning both acclaim and controversy. Duvert's distinctive style and uncompromising approach to sensitive subjects establish him as a significant figure in contemporary French literature.

    Good Sex Illustrated
    • "First published in France in 1973, Good Sex Illustrated gleefully deciphers the subtext of a popular sex education manual for children produced during that period. In so doing, Duvert mounts a scabrous and scathing critique of how deftly the "sex-positive" ethos was harnessed to promote the ideal of the nuclear family. Like Michel Houllebecq, Duvert is highly attuned to all the hypocrisies of late twentieth-century western "sexual liberation" mass movements."--Jacket
