PUMPING IRONY

In this issue we’re pleased to present the first English translation of a novelette by the surrealist writer André Pieyre de Mandiargues. You’ll also find previously unavailable translations from a diverse selection of neglected avant-garde literary masters like Marcel Schneider, Bernard Quiriny, Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando, Walter Serner, and others. While these writings range from baroque to fantastic, from dada to surrealism and back, together they helped populate modern literary art.

A RAUNCHY SUMMER FANTASY FROM FRANCE

A FISH FROM ELSEWHERE

Eléa follows a strange fish and is thrown into a provocative realm of unabashed sexual gratification. Faced with evading the grip of the law, escaping the intoxicating clutches of l’hôpital du plaisir, and eluding the ire of her parallel lover’s fiancée, she must return home before she fades away altogether.

A startling, surreal, satiric erotic escapade, this raunchy Wonderland is imbued with the spirit of Kafka, Nin, and Terry Southern.

Laure. Favager’s style is engaging and disruptive, transporting readers into a surreal world where the lines between reality and sexual fantasy blur. The author’s vivid and explicit prose create a comic atmosphere that is both sexy and unsettling, immersing the reader in Eléa’s increasingly erotic escapades.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Laure Favager’s short fiction has appeared in several literary journals in France and Quebec. This is her first publication in the U.S.

She lives in Brittany with two uninhibited cats.

UPDATE: Laure Favager’s The Desire Box is now available from New Urge.
