Boiler House Press, 2024. Trade Paperback. New. New! // 'When Red House Alley first appeared (as Der heilige Skarabäus, The Sacred Scarab) in 1909, it sent shock waves through Viennese society. For the first time, girls and women caught up in the sex trade were portrayed as human beings, not predators or mindless victims. The book became a bestseller and was considered one of the most important German novels of the early 20th century. Banned as decadent by the Nazis, it was forgotten for over 75 years.' ~ Publisher.

Paperback. Red House Alley is the first complete English translation of Else Jerusalem's Der Heilige Skarabaeus, her revolutionary novel about sex workers in 19th century Vienna. Jerusalem ripped away the veil of moral hypocrisy that viewed prostitutes as predators who lured men into their clutches, showing the women as victims of pimps, madams, and the police. Its frank portrayal of the sex trade led the Nazis to ban the book in 1933, after which it was forgotten for over 80 years. Red House Alley is destined to take its rightful place as a classic of feminist literature.
