Paris bookshops hid a thriving secret in the 1920s. Here I introduce Jean-Pierre Dutel’s Bibliographie des ouvrages érotiques publiés clandestinement en français and make the 1920 to 1939 survey readable in English. I map Librairie Dutel, Briffaut, Duflou, Kra and French erotic publishing between the wars.
Rolly's Take
For the connoisseur of literature who finds allure in the shadows, this blog whispers secrets of a Parisian past steeped in eroticism and rebellion. It speaks to those who crave not just stories, but the history that breathes life into words, revealing the intimate dance between censorship and creativity. Here, the allure of the clandestine meets the elegance of fine publishing — a treasure trove for those who appreciate the art of seduction in every form.
