LIB 2

SYNOPSIS

Under the table, outside of the subject's control, an unseen assistant distracts them with a vibrator. The subjects stop reading when they're too distracted or fatigued to continue, at which point they restate their name, and what they've just read. The title references the ancient concept of "female hysteria" especially the Victorian-era medical treatments meant to "cure" it. Continued on page XXX, see Hysterical Literature - Solé sheet.
