Description:A tale intriguing for
its novelty, its insight into modern literary history, & the thread
of social history that runs thruout, Venus Bound is the true story of
Olympia Press. The company spent decades pushing the censorship envelope
by publishing ground-breaking literature from authors such as Henry
Miller, William Burroughs & Vladimir Nabokov. To subsidize this
high-minded adventure, Olympia pumped out a line of plain old dirty
books. John de St. Jorre follows the venture from its inception just
after WWI until its demise during the liberated '60s & '70s.
