Dirt: The Whip Angels & Linda's Strange Vacation

by Diane Bataille, Marcus Huttning

"The Whip Angels" and "Linda's Strange Vacation" are long-lost forbidden classics of explicit literary erotica, first published clandestinely in 1950s/60s Paris, and now restored to their true glory and place of pre-eminence amongst the most erotic, imaginative and exceptional examples of the genre.Both books are rites-of-passage stories throbbing with stunning sexual manias, lusts and perverse twists. Attributed to Diane Bataille (wife of Georges, author of "Story of the Eye"), "The Whip Angels" blazes with erotic excess and incandescent cruelty, while Marcus Huttning's Linda's Strange Vacation climaxes in an orgy of staggering polymorphous diversity.

An omnibus edition of two Creation Books best-sellers.

Paperback

About the author

Born in Canada and stemming from a Russian aristocratic family, Diane Bataille (born Diane Kotchoubey de Beauharnais) was married to the writer Georges Bataille, whom she had met in 1943, until his death in 1962.

Taking a cue from her husband, she penned an erotic fiction in English, The Whip Angels, for the Olympia Press (also under the pseudonyms 'XXX' and 'Selena Warfield').

Reviews

[Eric · Rating 4 out of 5]

Walking the tightrope of perverse and revolting, Diane Bataille follows in her husband Georges footsteps, and more or less pulls it off. "Linda's Strange Vacation," the second story in this combination of overlooked Olympia Press books from back in the day, doesn't quite make it.
