Book Type: 5 x 8 Perfect Bound
Author: Marcus Huttning
About: One of the few '50s-era, Paris books, not by Olympia that's worth republishing. Originally released by the Montmarte-based "Oceanic Press," Huttning's Linda, for whatever it lacks in, umm, editing, more than makes up for it with style, thoroughness and imagination.
The Linda of the story is a young girl on holiday at her Uncle Arthur's. Before she meets up with him, there's an encounter with a maid, a young virile cousin, then memorable scene(s) in her uncle's (a quiet-mannered author of guess what) study, comparisons with her sister, punishment, big parties, and so on. Clearly the author means well, and has read not a few of de Sade's writings.
