[FRANCE24] Dominique Strauss-Kahn "is half man, half pig", according to a former lover who has detailed their seven-month relationship in a kiss-and-tell book to be released next week.
Extracts of "Belle et Bête" -- which can be translated as "Beauty and the Beast" or "Beautiful and Stupid" -- were published in respected weekly news magazine Le Nouvel Observateur
This is considered news in France?
Thursday, alongside an exclusive interview with author Marcela Iacub, a lawyer and newspaper columnist.
Strauss-Kahn, known in France by his initials DSK and once billed as a possible Socialist candidate for the 2012 French presidential election, is described as unfeeling, selfish and sexually obsessed, "an artist of the sewers, a poet of abasement and filth".
But these are the very traits that appealed to Iacub, who started her seven-month relationship with DSK in 2012, a year after he was infamously accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid at the New York Sofitel.
Boy howdy, lucky for her she knew what she was getting into...
"You have had a long list of sexual conquests ... of mostly vulgar and unattractive women," she wrote in the style of an open letter to her former lover. "It is one of the authentic and wonderful traits of the true pig, a form of generosity that you show to all women prepared to receive you."
