    EROTIC LITERATURE

    Guided and pulled by a total stranger, Julia learns to survive in a world where harsh, cruel demands, and pain and pleasure become totally intertwined.

    Eleven women writers turn their vivid imaginations to faraway planets, erotic futures, and sensual fairy tales, to celebrate sexuality and explore what it means to be a woman who loves women.

    A comparative study of the concept of eroticism in the works of Henry Miller and Georges Bataille, a French novelist and philosopher of the twentieth century.

    His aim: to dominate through the glories of the flesh. His minions are beautiful and lascivious and their eager bodies and warped minds are bent to his evil purpose.The lost Phallus of Osiris is the greatest erotic talisman known to man and the Master will not rest until he has it in his possession. Just one woman can help him fulfil his dark ambitions - the one person who still resists him. Mara, the white witch. Great though the Master's power is - in Mara, and The Phallus of Osiris, he may have met his match.

    Each essay serves to analyse how visual representations of the body work metaphorically and systematically to define and reinforce beliefs and social practices. Many of the essays focus on a single painting, photograph, or other object to examine the wider implications of the image of the body and the body as image. An impressive range of methods and approaches is brought to bear, serving to demonstrate the intellectual vigour and breadth of the subject of the body in art, and the richness of the material with which it can be studied.

    But even after father and daughter are reunited, Mimi remains trapped by feelings of desertion and betrayal and spends her life searching for a love that constantly eludes her, seeking to satisfy her hungry heart. Mimi makes a ‘brilliant’ marriage to a man who gives her wealth and social status but who fails to provide her with love and loyalty. She has a carefree, erotically charged affair with a golden boy who unleashes her full sexual potential, but she still craves more. Only when the mysteries of her father’s past are fully revealed, and she can allow herself to love him as he truly is , can Mimi feel free to return to her roots and give herself fully to a man who fulfils her every desire- a man who can fill her hungry heart. ROBERTA LATOW Everything about Roberta Latow was larger and more exotic than life. She was born in Westchester, New York but escaped her suburban background for Manhattan, where she was at the heart of the dynamic ‘pop art’ scene in the 1960s. She was a noted art expert and gallery owner and has been credited with giving Andy Warhol the original idea to paint Campbell’s soup cans. In the early 1970s she went to Europe and moved around different exotic parts of the Mediterranean, which form the background for many of her novels. She particularly adored Greece and lived there for many years, earning her living as an art dealer and interior decorator. Later she moved to London and in the early 80s wrote Three Rivers, the first of her 21 erotic novels. It caused a storm and became an international best-seller. Roberta was famous for her generosity and the wild parties in her Mayfair apartment. The carpets were of fur, indoor trees reached to the high ceilings, from which canaries sang in cages and Roberta herself looked magnificent in extraordinary jewelry and eastern garments. She eventually settled in the English countryside, where she created another magical home, wrote her novels and was much loved by her neighbors. She died in 2003.

    Her misconduct puts her under the command of her middle-aged admirer, and as punishment and seduction alternate, a dark romance begins in the soundless vaults and tiled discipline rooms. Soon Elaine is a tomboy well-chastised, the recipient of passionate punishments.

    Consider this: You're closeted Nick Lawrence, happily married to a wealthy woman in Beverly Hills. Suddenly your life has been taken over by an alien force-and the secret you've worked so hard to maintain is exploding in your face. Your only ally is a strange, old man from a distant planet, who threatens to kill you. What's next? You're the young, blue-eyed Republican vice president of the United States secretly trying to win over the hidden wealth and power of gay America, while promoting your own agenda of "family values." Whom will you enlist for help? You're a gay Russian mathematician who's discovered an organic substance that can pass through time, space, and other beings. What do you do when you discover that this substance has taken over you? Circles returns to tiny Ki, a primitive, violent planet where Same-Sex love is a part of the balance of life. There Enkidu, once the promised mate of the ambitious hunter Greeland, has become the most hunted man on the planet. His only way out is to escape to Earth, alone, and there in a riot-scarred Los Angeles, take on the identity and body of another man. There he will find a partner who will do anything for him, including kill-and there he will attempt to save the lives of those he loves, including the tortured, handsome man whose body and fate he now owns. Circles is both graphic and mystical. It brings to life some of the most unforgettable characters ever put into a contemporary novel. Advancing the chronicles of the extraordinary planet Ki, Circles will also advance the cause of gay fiction out of its narrow focus and into the world-embracing landscape of our era. Circles will become a powerful key to the evolution of gender studies and the expanding gay consciousness of the 21st Century, whose effects are already being seen, culturally and politically, today.

    

    Their approach reveals a systematic interweaving of social science, morality and the law from three different perspectives: conservative//moralistic, liberal and feminist. The book will be an invaluable contribution to current research on pornography and obscenity.

    Its occupants are transported to strange destinations of decadent pleasure and passionate discipline. The beautiful young women of the Blue Train are prisoners of their own sexuality and captives of male desire.

    

    By 'clandestine' is meant books whose publishers and printers attempt to hide their identities, usually by offering title pages whose misleading places and dates of publication may shock and amuse, but which always aim to mystify. Using internal and external evidence, an attempt is made to establish who were the printers, booksellers and publishers, English and Continental, involved in this trade. The printing families or 'groups' into which a large percentage of the material falls are classified, accompanied by illustrations which identify the main printing characteristics ('house styles') of the groups. Bibliographical descriptions follow a checklist of clandestine catalogues; these provide valuable evidence for dating, pricing and 'sales pitch' and information on items of which no copies can now be traced. The work concludes with a series of appendices which provide significant external evidence, and three indexes: of themes, titles and names. Peter Mendes' original research builds on and significantly extends the essential pioneer work of the Victorian collector and bibliographer H.S. Ashbee ('Pisanus Fraxi').
