Title: Overly "anal-lytical"
Review: "The Surrender" certainly has a titillating topic: a woman who's obsessed with being sodomized by her lover, the cartoonishly named Mr. A. The memoir, however, is a curious blend of the pornographic and the banal. Her descriptions of being anally penetrated are often erotic but she over-analyzes her motivations and induldges in psuedo-philosophizing.When the focus is on her ass, Bentley's prose is lucid. But when she goes metaphysical, the prose turns purple and pretentious.
