Gustave Courbet's L'Origine du Monde depicts a realistic, close-up view of a woman's genitalia: one of the most notorious paintings ever made. This novel seeks to give the painting a voice from under the male gaze, following the painting from her production in 1866 up to the present day. This is a journey from revolutionary Paris to Nazi-controlled Budapest, to the birth of French psychoanalysis in the 1960s. Throughout, the painting describes how it feels to be sexually objectified by her different owners. Using the voices of women who were exploited, as models and objects, sheds a new light on how we, as a society, look at images which have been canonized as unimpeachable.

You and your friends are pop music fans. In January 1958, you would have rushed to the newsagent to buy the latest edition of your favourite music paper. It could have been the 'New Musical Express', 'Record Mirror' or Melody Maker - which ever it was you just had to find out if Elvis had gone straight into the charts at Number 1. Five years later, these same papers reported the news that The Beatles had their first number 1 with 'Please Please Me'. These were exciting times to be a music fan. Sunday afternoons were when you listened to Alan Freeman on 'Pick of the Pops' as he counted down the charts. If that wasn't enough, you could tune to Radio Luxembourg on 208 meters to hear Keith Fordyce, Barry Alldis, Don Wardell or Paul Burnett give their version of the story. In this book for the very first time, you can see how each of the music papers and the radio recorded the music milestones of the classic years of pop - 1956 to 1969.
