{"product_id":"gordon-edith-templeton-9781400030293","title":"Gordon","description":"Louisa is a clever, self-reliant woman who has just been discharged from her duty as an officer in the British Army during World War II. In a London pub one afternoon she meets Gordon: a slight, peculiar psychiatrist with queer eyes and a strange charisma. Within an hour, Louisa has been sexually conquered by him on a garden bench. So begins an affair in which Gordon compulsively violates Louisa's body and psyche, while Louisa matches his onslaughts with an insolent submission. As their entanglement deepens, Louisa finds a heady emotional satisfaction beneath the humiliation that Gordon inflicts, and comes to a new understanding of her troubled history and the self that has emerged from it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOriginally published under a pseudonym in 1966, \u003cb\u003eGordon\u003c\/b\u003e was banned in England and Germany for its frank sexual content, and even today it remains provocative in its fearless probing of the boundaries of consent and submission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edith Templeton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1400030293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400030293\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.18w x 0.63d","brand":"Edith Templeton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989790621951,"sku":"9781400030293","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d0e5348-edd4-4296-acbe-7ed2ffeaf55e.jpg?v=1683301408","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gordon-edith-templeton-9781400030293","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
