<span><b>A madcap tale of sadistic power-play by one of the 20th century’s most beloved French gay writers.</b></span><p><span></span></p><p><i><span>My Manservant</span><span></span><span>and Me</span></i> is a story about the trials and tribulations of having a live-in valet. Written from the uneasy perspective of an aging, incontinent author of extremely successful middlebrow plays, we learn about his manservant, a young film actor who is easily moved to both delicate gestures and terrible tantrums; who''s been authorized to handle his master’s finances, who orders stock buys, dictates his master’s wardrobe, sleeps in his master''s bed, and yet won’t let him watch variety television. <i><span>My Manservant</span><span></span></i><i>and Me</i> reveals the rude specificities of this relationship with provocative humor and stylistic abjection. This manservant won''t be going anywhere.</p>
