Jacques Lucchesi, The Adolescent and Other Erotic Stories

Mystery of the Feminine and Masculine Incarnation

In his short stories, Jacques Lucchesi uses words to photograph those who hide in an attempt to find their partner in order to calm what is spiraling out of control at the speed of light.
Even if it means wrapping them up often willingly but sometimes by force, where it is not only the male gender who becomes the epicenter and unleashed archangel.

Eros, more than love, remains the vector of different experiences and a series of portraits. It remains the stumbling block on which the author's imagination crystallizes areas of shadow, slippage, erections, and non-legislative elections. There are sometimes untimely monsters.
There are impulsive comings and goings, freedoms to be regained where sometimes an animal libido illustrates another vision of life.

The body emerges as an image beyond the image, an image seeking the meaning of Presence far from any effect of angelization and sometimes with constraint or violence even if this is not the rule but a series of exceptions. Psyches sometimes call for scandals that they consider radiant even if this is not always the case where power or money relations constantly play out in various tensions.
For Jacques Lucchesi multiplies the network of the mystery of the feminine and masculine Incarnation. But far from the injunction of Saint Thomas Aquinas: "call man to spiritual things through the mystery of his body."

Here, the body is freed from the mind, where nevertheless what is femininity and what is Woman can be distinguished, what is masculinity from what is Man in various “exchanges” or “expenditures”.
For the author, to imagine is never to restrict but to develop various forms of fever or anguish - without which sexuality is nothing.

Hence the brilliance and the disquiet of the stories where the hidden is often transmuted into a prelude to the brilliance of those who dispense their “kindnesses” and those who become predators without even seeking to seduce within various borders, where the author writes with an eye the desirable or the desired.
