Irene's Cunt

First published anonymously in France in 1928, Le Con d'Irene, is the last 'lost' masterpiece of Surrealist erotica. Likes Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye (published the same year), Irene's Cunt is an intensely poetic account, the story of a man's torment when he becomes fixated upon the genitalia of an imaginary woman and is reduced to voyeuristically scoping 'her' erotic encounters. In between describing various events in brothels and other sexual adventures, Louis Aragon charts an inner monologue which is often reminiscent, in its poetic/ surreal intensity, of the work of Lautreamont, and of Artaud in its evocation of physical disgust as the dark correlative to spiritual illumination. This new edition features an exceptional and completely unexpurgated translation by Alexis Lykiard (translator of Lautreamont's Maldoror and Apollinaire's Les Onze Mille Verges), and includes complete annotation and an illuminating introduction.

More About Irene's Cunt
And when shes alone again, as truly alone in the world as shes always felt herself to be, she looks at herself in a bamboo-framed mirror. Beautiful face, aglow with the taste of carnal pleasure, disdainful and avid and above all an indefinable look in which can be sensed unspecified danger, sensuality triumphant and a sort of intoxicating vulgarity. She likes what she sees around her drifts a great brunette fragrance, scent of happy brunette, in which the idea of others dissolves. Louis Aragon, Irene's Cunt //
Escrito como los dioses, con una furia y un ritmo de poesa que se lleva todo puesto. Te obliga a leer cada vez ms rpido, y a detenerte en cada metfora. No hay ni una pgina que no sea sublime. No exagero: Cortina, suspiras como un seno. Se dira la proximidad del amor. Cuando una inminente tormenta hace rodar ya en el oscuro escenario... Don't remember this at all. No doubt I read it b/c it was porn written by a Surrealist. The back cover tells me that it's about a paralyzed old man who gets his sexual experience by watching other people have sex thru peepholes. The real translation of the original French title wd be "Irene's Cunt" but Grove probably cdn't get away... For years I tried to find out who this incredible writer was. My copy is under the name Albert de Routtisie, same translation.Camus called it "The finest of all works touching on eroticism" but it's even more than that. Some other reviewers gave the basics, a paraplegic man is used as captive audience by his wife and daughter who engage...
