THE
NUN First published in an edition of 250 copies only in 1940s France, Count d’Irancy’s extraordinary THE NUN is a sacrilegous underground erotic classic which is now translated into English for the very first time. This virulently anti-clerical tale concerns the progress of two young sisters, Agnes and Martine, who join the Convent of the Virgin only to be thoroughly debauched by a nymphomaniacal Mother Superior and a vicious, depraved Abbot, who school them in every manner of sexual perversion and degradation. After being totally corrupted in a series of ultra-erotic encounters, the desecrated nuns find themselves cast out of the convent and forced to work as prostitutes, plying their ruined anuses on the streets of Paris. This new, limited hardback edition of THE NUN is illustrated with seven of the explicit erotic drawings by Foujita which were included in the book’s first edition, and with cover illustrations by the anti-religious Surrealist, Clovis Trouille. It is translated into English for the first time by Alexis Lykiard (translator of Lautréamont’s Maldoror), and includes a new introduction by renowned scholar of erotic literature, Patrick Kearney. The true identity of author Count d’Irancy remains veiled, but he (or she) is believed to be a leading member of the Surrealist group. 5.5 X 8.5 inches, 124 pages, 7 b/w illustrations PUBLISHED
