![]() If there is a common theme to be found in Three Women, it’s that each woman’s desires are in some way defined and manipulated by the desires of the men around them-and often marked by pain. The book, which debuted at number one on the New York Times nonfiction best-seller list, evoked pearl-clutching responses from certain critics unused to discussing women’s primal urges, particularly when those urges involve liaisons or threesomes. Her 2019 debut book, Three Women, explored the sex lives of three real women: a teenager who entered a relationship with her teacher and later reported him to the police a housewife whose husband won’t kiss her who embarks on an illicit affair a woman who has sex with other men in front of her husband to turn him on. Taddeo has built a reputation for taking on taboos. We whisper words like “rape” and “murder-suicide” and “miscarriage” as toddlers waddle by us. ![]() Still, I realize that my gambit may have been ill-conceived as Taddeo and I try to seek out corners to talk about her book, which is not PG. ![]()
