Chains
Larry Townsend
New York: Badboy, 1994.One of the many gay erotic pulp novels produced in the mid to late 20th century. These short sexually explicit stories, many of which were formulaic and published in easily recognisable series with graphically illustrated covers and titillating titles each targeting a specific sexual niche, demonstrate the breadth of sexual fantasy, occupation, desire, and deviance of the emerging homosexual culture.

The Illegal Relatives
Frank Moorhouse
[Sydney]: [Tomato Press for The Author], No date.Circa 1973. Pirated edition of illustrated erotic stories planned as an illegal publication in protest of censorship of the printed word, stemming from a case brought against underground newspaper Thor. The Whitlam government passed legislation that brought an end to the censorship yet the printer of this booklet went ahead with privately selling the publication against Moorehouse’s wishes, though also purported that it was delayed because Moorhouse wanted to edit the stories. A competing story has it that Moorhouse commissioned the printing but could not pay for it, so Tomato Press sold the entire inventory to a Sydney secondhand bookdealer to recoup the loss, but this all be hearsay. Illustrated throughout, some Robert Crumb pirates, but largely original unattributed erotic illustrations by Jenny Coopes and others. CAINS 118.

Julie, ou J’ai Sauve ma Rose. Par Madame de C***.
[Felicite de Choiseul-Meuse?]; [Madame Guyot?]
A Hambourg, et se Trouve a Paris: Chez les Marchands de Nouveautes, 1807.Possibly the first sapphic novel written by a woman, over a century before Radclyffe Hall’s The Well of Loneliness. The vivid depiction of lesbian love lends to the warning on the title page, “La mere en defendra la lecture a sa fille” [The mother will forbid her daughter to read it], and led to the novel’s censure in 1825 and on the ruling of obscenity and its order of destruction in 1827. First published in 1807, this is a well survived example of the second edition, differing from the first with the French spelling modernized, published in 1820 or 1821 but with the same 1807 imprint of the first edition. Sometimes attributed to Felicite de Choiseul-Meuse, and also to Madame Guyot, both have been refuted. PERCEAU 6-2, PIA pp. 662-3, GAY Vol. IV pp. 196.
