Kensington Ladies' Erotica Society Staff
Look Homeward Erotica
Berkeley CA U.S.A.: Ten Speed Press 1987. Unlike our first book a love child born of unchecked desire this one was a planned baby. To conceive it we ran away to an "erotic retreat" that lasted three days. Our erotic retreat spawned many of the stories in this book and as we went back home to bring them "to term" we felt much more passionate more robust than before. We were reminded again that an erotic story doesn't end at the typewriter - once it is read and known by others it takes on a life of its own. Whether fantasy feeds our erotic muse or whether she feeds our fantasies doesn't matter as our potluck feasts materialize whenever we converge so did a banquet of stories gradually take form. In this book we look at the whole spectrum of our erotic life - the sassy and the sad the bitter and the sweet. The table is set. Please come in and help yourselves. Message to owner inside cover. Reprint. Softcover. Good. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Paperback. Ten Speed Press Paperback

Book shows the slightest spine lean; some faint smudges at outside edges light shelfwear; binding remains secure. DJ shows light wear to extremities; short closed tear at bottom front gutter; very mild rubbing; price intact; mylar-protected. Sequel to the 12th Century classic Chin P'ing Mei. Translated from the German version of Franz Kuhn by Vladimir Kean. 8vo. 432pp. Hardback with DJ. A sequel of the classic Chinese novel Chin P'ing Mei The Story of Hsi Men and his six wives this novel takes place in the ruinous years of the twelfth century. Moon Lady Hsi Men's first wife is still alive and her adventures and those of her son form the core of the novel. China is overrun by the Tartars split into two halves and its two Emperors are imprisoned. Moon Lady is among the fugitives who have to abandon their homes before the destructive invaders. Around her develop the fates of a host of colorful characters: rascals lechers women of easy virtue treacherous and loyal servants corrupt officials nuns and priests of varying degrees of worthiness. Their histories are told with relish realism and uninhibited abandon. The dramatic historical background of war and political and religious unrest plays a larger part in this novel than is usual in Chinese literature. Simultaneously with total upheaval and the destruction of security and wealth goes a rich flowering of Buddhism and Taoism and their temple cults. Scenes of battle or lust alternate with dreamlike sequences set in the rarefied atmosphere of temples and monasteries in which the underlying justice of the world order is made manifest. There are striking parallels to our own times: displaced persons ruthless invaders complete disintegration of the structure of the state of public and private morals. But this total collapse of the material world is counterbalanced by a revival of religion born from an understanding of the transitory nature of all things earthly. Franz Kuhn one of the outstanding interpreters of Chinese literature in the Western idiom discovered the novel and rendered the Chinese text into German. The English translation by Vladimir Kean is based on this German version. Pantheon Books, hardcover
