The Bride Stripped Bare

The Bride Stripped Bare

"The Bride Stripped Bare" is a 2003 novel written by the Australian writer Nikki Gemmell, originally published anonymously. The title is borrowed from the painting "The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even" (also known as "The Large Glass") by Marcel Duchamp.

In 2005, it was announced that Australian screenwriter Andrew Bovell, who penned the award-winning film drama, "Lantana", was to adapt "The Bride Stripped Bare" for the screen.

The book is written in the form of a diary by a young wife who has disappeared. In it, the author talks frankly about sex and love, and chronicles her relationship with a mysterious man she meets at a library group.

The author has said that she "loved the idea of writing a book that dived under the surface of a woman's life, a seemingly contentedly married woman, and explored her secret world-with ruthless honesty". The act of writing the work anonymously she has described as "liberating".
