Welcome to the Wonderful World of Madame Bruttipedi
Buy your bibliotherapy prescription and help support Power Cut!
Madame Bruttipedi is our amazing and erudite resident bibliotherapist. When she decided to leave the glamourous world of burlesque and retrain as a bibliotherapist, she was much sought after by many of the top magazines. She could have had a column in The New Yorker or Vogue, but she chose to work with Power Cut! Madame makes her debut appearance in Issue 1 where we discover her intriguing backstory and learn how she came to be a bibliotherapist and foot dominatrix.
What is a bibliotherapist?
Bibliotherapy, or book therapy, simply means using books to help people address issues that may be affecting them at any given time. This is done by selecting reading material relevant to their problem or situation. Madame is an avid reader with an incredible memory, which allows her to identify the most appropriate titles to help you with your quandaries and dilemmas.
“A doctor is advertised by the bodies he cures. My business is advertised by the minds I stimulate. And let me tell you that the book business is different from other trades. People don’t know they want books. I can see just by looking at you that your mind is ill for lack of books but you are blissfully unaware of it!”
