"Him trying to get her to have an orgasm. "But mostly Brodkey's narrator is just thinking about the girl," Minot says over the phone from her home on an island off the coast of Maine.
In oral-sex prose circles, "Rapture" is matched only by Harold Brodkey's epic short story "Innocence," wherein a young male protagonist gives an account of his struggles to bring a so-called frigid girl to orgasm using his yap. But it can get in the way when it comes to the subject of her latest book, "Rapture." The 116-page novella documents a 12-minute blow job, in Manhattan, between two on-again/off-again lovers.
This is not necessarily a bad thing for an acclaimed novelist and screenwriter ("Evening," 1998 Bertolucci's 1996 film "Stealing Beauty").
