Intimate Correspondence
Alan Sobrino
Drawing inspiration from the eighteenth-century French novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses," this epistolary work delves into the twisted and sensual escapades of Valmont and M. Merteuil, their experiences unveiled through a series of exchanged letters.
Unlike typical epistolary novels, "Intimate Correspondence" aims to recreate the genuine letter-receiving experience by sending five meticulously handwritten (printed) letters via mail, a process slated for completion in eight months. It's important to note that the novel's content is explicitly sexual and intended for mature readers.
