DESCRIPTION:
All rights reserved. Clearly, these made-to-order dolls are primarily constructed for gratification, yet the photographs tell stories that are much more complex, disturbing-and at times-familiar. . From Publishers Weekly The private bond between "life-sized, synthetic sex dolls" and their owners is something rarely witnessed by outsiders, so the photographs in this book are likely to titillate-and possibly shock- viewers, despite Dorfman's decidedly neutral approach to her subjects.

A military officer dreams of marrying his Rebecca. Dorfman’s deft treatment of the subject and neutral color palette keep the image
""Realer than Real"" according to Offenbach. The very interesting and well written introduction to what is essentially a photo book ended too soon. Photos are sharp and clear but many of the doll poses are "common." I would have preferred a little more creativity and artistry in the latter department. I also would have appreciate. "Good pictures, not much to read" according to Jason. Good pictures, not much to read, but what text there is is insightful and well written by a French researcher.
