New York:: Harper & Row,, (1982.). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First US printing. Hawkes is exploring the limits of erotic fiction here - and using the device of reincarnation is able to go back and forth in time as Virginie is the companion of "Seigneur," a somewhat depraved member of the Ancien Regime, and in post-WWII Paris she is the younger sister of cab-driver (and pimp) Bocage. A challenging and fascinating book.
