PARIS — French adult superstar Katsuni, now known by her legal name Céline Tran, has been promoting a revised and expanded edition of her celebrated memoir, “Ne dis pas que tu aimes ça,” or “Don’t Say You Like It.”
Tran spent 13 years at the forefront of the French adult industry, creating the persona of Katsuni and becoming a local icon.
Upon her retirement, Tran became licensed as a coach and expert in Ericksonian hypnosis, with an emphasis on sexology. She is currently giving interviews about the updated version of her 2018 autobiography, which was reissued last month by Éditions de La Musardine and bears the telling subtitle, “They used to call me Katsuni.”
The 2022 edition of “Ne dis pas que tu aimes ça” includes a new chapter where Tran brings her story up to date, “because so many things have happened," she told entertainment publication Télé-Loisirs.
“This has been a period that merits a lot of attention because it involved the concretization of my professional transition,” Tran explained.
The new edition includes earlier chapters that didn’t make it into the 2018 version to keep it at a certain length, and also a section on some of the dynamics of her past romantic relationships, which she thinks could be therapeutically helpful for her readers.
“There is much more introspection and many more nuances,” Tran added, noting that the new version also includes tributes to those who were important to her, among whom she singled out her cat.
Tran’s book explores in detail her path through the adult industry, which she now, through the lens of her work as a therapist, calls “a very narcissistic environment.”
“Whether one wants it or not, the body is an intimate zone,” Tran commented.
