The Memoirs of a Voluptuary

"The Best Erotic Story in English, After <I>Fanny Hill</I>!". So wrote C. R. Dawes, the famous authority on European erotica, whose collection now fills the "Private Cases" of the British Library. This classic of Edwardian Erotica describes the sexual awakening of Charlie Powerscourt, and his friends Bob Rutherford and Jimmy, the Duke of Surrey. The ingenuity of their efforts to achieve erotic fulfillment is lies at the heart of this story. The narrative is further enhanced by a series of highly-explicit letters the three friends receive from a sophisticated French acquaintance. <I>Memoirs of a Voluptuary</I> mixes scenes of straight and gay activities, suggesting the line between the two isn't always as distinct as it seems.
