Review of 'Henry and June' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I bought this when the movie came out, but hadn't read it. I found it in a box I was unpacking recently. The movie adaptation is very good, but this is, you know, her diary. Very different.

I'm afraid I don't like her therapist at all (he didn't appear in the movie). He seems to be all about women's inherent need to be submissive and pathologizing her sexuality, for the most part. I'm guessing he's a Freudian. Hmf.
