Christian Bale in American Psycho: It is still officially illegal to sell the book in Queensland Photograph: Moviestore Collection/Rex Feat She is an internationally published author who retains a day-job at a local indie bookstore; a writer who embraces the solitary nature of her work, but composes her intimate sexual stories amidst the crowds and coffee grinders of a city café. Krissy Kneen embodies as many contrasts and contradictions as her acclaimed erotic fiction.The Brisbane author has applied her considerable erotic imagination to literary explorations of everything from masturbation to bestiality, but still describes herself as "no sex hero". She's knows sexually "what she wants and how to get it" yet eschews mainstream paint and powder for defiantly visible grey roots and a cute pair of glasses. When Campbell Newman, in his first act as premier, pulled the funding plug on the Queensland Literary Award, she leapt in to fundraise – yet with the world's arts community descending on Brisbane for the Festival,[url=http://www.mcm-handbags.net]mcm bags[/url], she keeps a low profile.But of all Kneen’s contradictions, the most fascinating is that she is shocked by Brisbane's reactions to her own, often incredibly shocking, work. She is as surprised by the good reactions as the bad. "It's not an erotic city," she explains,[url=http://www.mcm-handbags.net]mcm handbags[/url], "it's pretty conservative." Yet her own erotic adventures, detailed in her sexual memoir, Affection, were received warmly by local readers.Despite knowing that the city has an appetite for non-fiction and a readership that rewards personal connections to authors and their communities, Kneen was still taken aback. "In Brisbane, people like events and meeting people and to feel connected to the writer. As a sex writer, I find that quite confronting – it's not hard to put your sex life out there, but I was terrified about people's reaction to my physicality."Her work at beloved indie bookstore Avid Reader can lead to "personal connections" of an adorably awkward nature. "Just after Affection came out, Avid Reader advertised signed copies available – a customer came in wanting a signed one for his wife and we were out. I said 'I think we've got some under the bench' and I bent over and signed one. I got some serious side-eye from the other staff members but it was all I could manage."Negative reactions from the Brisbane community to her writing have shocked her for less personal, more political reasons. Her trilogy, Triptych, banned from Apple's iBooks store for its bestiality content, is an experimental examination of perversity in literary pornography.There is an enduring censorship culture in Queensland that Kneen rails against – unequivocally. "We've got a hangover from the Joh Bjelke-Petersen era," says Kneen. "There's still a law against Category-1 explicit sexual material in Queensland. It's here, of course, just under the counter - but people could be arrested for selling pornography."I've just watched a naked woman apparently remove a handkerchief from her vagina on stage at La Soiree, part of the Brisbane festival. But Bret Easton Ellis' American Psycho is not legally available for sale. It's been banned here since its first publication, and laws prevent it being shipped in from other states. Kneen sells the book "because readers want to read it" and imports copies from America – but, of course, even in Brisbane, you can download it to your Kindle.To highlight the enduring hypocrisy of Queensland censorship, Krissy plans a live event of read-out passages of sexual violence from American Psycho. She explains that only when someone objects about sexual content to the Office of Film and Literature Classification that material is banned. "Hence the Marquis De Sade remains on sale," she says.As does the popular work of local erotic contradiction, Krissy Kneen. "The little sprite part of me is tempted to submit my books and see what would happen," she says.One senses that, for Kneen, the little sprite is never too far away. "I feel like I'll be writing pornographic books for as long as they keep being censored," she says. "I'll never write Fifty Shades of Grey because it supports that conservative, monogamous view of relationships - even though I am happily in a monogamous relationship with a man and have been for a long time. I'll continue to write about outsider sexuality because we don't do it as a culture. When we do, I guess I'll stop."
