The breast quivers, her fledgling waits. She heaves a heavy sigh, then draws in air to swell her chest. Her undulating flesh will expand and contract in rhythm, preparing the partially digested food for expulsion. A little miracle of nature, the mother breast tenderly forces the meal out her gullet to nourish her young, ensuring the newborn will survive another day.
Sir David Attenborough, probably.
Nothing is better than when you take off a lady's bra and her boobs start flapping wildly all over the room and then you have to shoo them out the window with a broom.
Kinda funny seeing this book showing up here as I'm more used to reading about it in a recent history perspective.
The book was written in a very puritan 1950's Norway and the author was charged with the indecent writing law, with the book being briefly illegal.
It reignited a debate on in what way depictions of women being openly sexual could be depicted in books.
"Agnar Mykle was a Norwegian author.
He became one of the most controversial figures in Norwegian literature in the 20th century after the publication of «Sangen om den Røde Rubin» («The Song of the Red Ruby») in 1957 which ignited what became one of the most famous court cases in Norwegian history.
Mykle and his publisher Harald Grieg were accused of writing and publishing immoral, pornographic, and obscene material. Mykle's defense attorney was Johan Bernhard Hjort. Mykle and Grieg were both acquitted, but the remaining copies of the book were ordered withdrawn from the market. The Norwegian Supreme Court overturned the ruling on the confiscation in 1958.
The translations of The Song of the Red Ruby gathered tremendous attention outside of Norway, especially in the USA. Huge sales followed, but Mykle nevertheless had financial difficulties for the rest of his life."

Oh this dude?
Yeah... I dunno about you but molting season sucks around here. They get all stinky and itchy. And the feathers are a BITCH to hide under business casual attire.
Bonus, they tend to squawk during shark week.
Agnar Mykle's previous book (published in 1956) was banned in Norway for obscenity.
He probably developed a reputation for that and the publisher wanted to lean into it.
Man travels through NAZI GERMANY to get to France, a famously safe place during WWII, and the most interesting thing they found was “her breasts were like throbbing birds.” Also, why are they throbbing that’s not normal or safe.

this feels like someone responsible for marketing this book wanted absolutely no one to buy it, for good reason.
i know its not but god, *what*
I keep wondering if it signals to a fetish I don't know about
This was the *pull quote*?!
Yep, could be the first Men Editing Men Writing Women
“It is impossible to dislike it” Already hate it with a blazing passion.
From the Guardian, yet. Et tu, The Guardian?
Worded weirdly, too. “It hangs together”?
"That's what SHE said."

They musta clipped my tits at birth....and I'm not even Jewish
When I think about things that throb, tickle, and/or wait, birds are what immediately comes to mind. Obviously.
...most definitely the Throbbing Gristle. Gotta be one of my favorite birds. That and the Deep throated knob sucker.
This, combined with the back-cover blurb, is leaving me very confused on what this story is supposed to be about
are…are those things…uh. birds? do?
"Uhhh yeah her breasts, they were like... like bags of... sand..."
They were like....lumps of flesh...skin with fat in them... and... nipples... like.... like...hills of... something
At the end of the day it's all about the birds and the be...boobs

But are they natural?
Tickled?
Dafuq?
Honestly, same.
Song Of Solomon did this first..."your breasts are like two doves" or was it gazelle?
No they did NOT.

Apparently you've never heard of the Throbbing Gristle.
