Blog: “The Story of Whoa (Kind of NSFW)” by Courtney Algeo While Josh was reading Fifty Shades of Grey (a task that I’m insanely jealous of now) and being bewildered/bored by it, I was reading the Story of O and absolutely hating it. The prose was dry (given how, ahem, wet the content is), the translation awkward (though, in the opinion of the translater, bolstered by the author’s praise, it’s the best of the available French to English translations), and the subject matter was, for me, nearly intolerable.  Fueled by a desire not to read the rest of the book, I did what any comic book fan would do: I bought the graphic novelization of Pauline Réage’s (pen name for Anne Desclos) Story of O, illustrated by Guido Crepax,and read/ogled that instead.
