Synopsis

The first (and only) volume of one of the most astonishing compilations of reminiscences ever written. The catalogue of amazing but deeply convincing characters include the gynaecologist, Berger, who has the alarming task of deciding whether toy-elephants and teddy bears will fit into his personal sexual pattern; the German lavatory-attendants who act as masturbation guards; the bumper-car merchant, Butin, who has an overwhelming passion for lesbian nurses and who commissioned for publication every fortnight a novel dealing with yet another sexual variation; the young man who, with a fixation about death, makes love to his girlfriends in the handsomely appointed coffin he has already had prepared for himself. These and a host of other characters, diplomats, artists and authors have had an interest over the years in forbidden literature, figure in M. Coppens' wide-ranging, witty and scholarly memoirs. Paperback reprint, 222 pages with eight pages of illus.
