"My Secret Life" by "Walter" is the most candid sexual autobiography in
existence. For a start there are no
diversions: the work is all sex. In Casanova's "Memoirs" there are many asides,
about gambling or magic or some
such; and Frank Harris has given us a travelogue as well as an account of personal sexual
experience. The
4000-odd pages of "My Secret Life" deal with nothing other than the sexual
activities, enjoyments, frustrations,
and insights of the author, in this sense the work is unique.
