about

An experimental novel about The Paris Olympia Press (1955–1965).

Firstly let me reassure—or caution—you that this book does not include any actual rape or murder. All that it does include is paper, ink and adhesive. I don’t know about the CD version. There aren’t even any descriptions of rapes or murders in here, or anything else for that matter. If I hadn’t mentioned it here you’d be none the wiser. The title was produced by my Optimal Title Generator program which generates optimal titles and thus must disregard the specific content of works.

If this book doesn’t contain any rape or murder you may well wonder what it contains instead. As far as I’m aware it doesn’t include anything at all. It is simply the consequence of some experiments I conducted starting in 1993, intending to develop the world’s filthiest erotic novel.

Good luck with it...
