About this book

Young Antoinette, known as Toinon, is the precocious narrator of these memoirs from a select girl's boarding school. Toinon details the wild sexual experimentation that transpires nightly between herself, her seventeen co-boarders, and certain members of staff. This explicit hymn to lesbianism and sexual mania was among the final papers of Pierre Louys, the author famous for The She Devils.

About Unknown Author

Pierre Louÿs, pseudonym of Pierre Louis (born Dec. 10, 1870, Ghent, Belgium—died June 4, 1925, Paris, France), French novelist and poet whose merit and limitation were to express pagan sensuality with stylistic perfection. Louÿs frequented Parnassian and Symbolist circles and was a friend of the composer Claude Debussy. He founded short-lived literary reviews, notably La Conque (1891). His Chansons de Bilitis (1894), prose poems about Sapphic love, purporting to be translations from the Greek, deceived even experts. Aphrodite (1896), a novel depicting courtesan life in ancient Alexandria, made him famous. His best novel is La Femme et le pantin (1898; Woman and Puppet), which is set in Spain. Louÿs’s popularity, which rested more on his eroticism than on purely aesthetic grounds, has faded. [Encyclopædia Britannica]
