Book Review:


This book contains some of the most erotic writings since the works of the late Henry Miller. Miller was banned from the US way back in 1934 when his avant garde style of raw, organic, sexual writing sent shock waves throughout the world. After a court ruling changed American censorship codes, Miller’s masterpiece was reinstated later in his life in his homeland and duly awarded the highest recognition in post-modern American literature. His virgin book is acclaimed to be one of the twenty great novels of our 21st century.

Beaumier does not copy Miller to emulate his success. He writes and chronicles in a more direct way, without apologies, dressing down nor up.
What is this book about? Does man lose his sex drive after willingly submitting himself to his self-cure? Conversely, does man become more incensed in his drive after his cleansing? What are the acts of love making that hold so much power as to obsess a man? What makes couples click together? All these questions are tackled in the book by Jack Brome, Beaumier's alter ego.

Beaumier’s Before The Cure, and The Cure are realistic journals of heart wrenching
journeying through a lifetime of seeking suitable partners for intimate relationships. (Completing the planned trilogy, Before The Cure, is a work in progress and is expected to be completed within the next two years, according to the author.)
The end.

Reviewer:
Benjamin Francis.

From the viewpoint of a self-help book, I learnt the following:

1) One may use time as a natural but slow healer.
2) One may use temporarily one habit to substitute for another, worse habit.
3) One may use self-hypnosis to psyche oneself out of a habit.
4) One may try physical, bodily removal from the source of temptation.
5) One may use dieting to control the mental, emotional and physical desires.
6) One should avoid consumption of substances that contain chemicals which may affect the disposition. Eg. Alcohol, cigarettes.
7) One may try fasting to cleanse the individual in many ways.
8) One advances in age and slows down in excessive indulgences.
9) One should use the confrontational method to face up to fears and thus learn to defeat them.
10) One can analyze and understand human psychology and thus deal better with oneself and others.

Interesting take on black-white sexual relations.
