Eimear McBride's book 'The Lesser Bohemians' is a sexual awakening

Eimear McBride had promised her second novel would be full of sex — she wasn’t lying. It’s hard to think of an Irish novel that’s more convincing about female sexuality, or more erotic, writes John P O’Sullivan

EIMEAR MCBRIDE’s much anticipated new book comes with a distracting title. Bohemian is an anachronistic term, surviving mainly in its diminutive form (boho) in the fashion industry.

It’s hard to think of the modern equivalent of the writer Gerard de Nerval who walked around 19th-century Paris with a lobster on a leash.
