Originally published by Olympia Press in 1956. Owens's first book using a pseudonym; this edition from "The Orpheus Series". Iris Owens (1929-2008), Olympia Press writer, pornographer, satirist, Paris and Greenwich Village resident. Samuel Beckett praised her and Terry Southern wrote that "aside from her Junoesque beauty, [Owens] had rapier wit and devastating logic. She was a pre-Sontag Sontag." In the 1950s and '60s, Owens resided in Paris and was connected with the expatriate writers' circle known who created the literary journal Merlin. This group included prominent figures like Alexander Trocchi, Christopher Logue, John Stevenson, George Plimpton, and Richard Seaver.
