New 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall Paperback First Thus Early pirated edition of the erotic novel Candy by "Maxwell Kenton" (Terry Southern & Mason Hoffenberg). Probably early 1960s, pre-dating the books first official publication in the U.S.A. and U.K. The book made Southern a world famous, sought after author. Candy is essentially a Beat lampoon of family values and high literary correctness; Voltaire’s Candide re-written for the sexual revolution. Southern and Hoffenberg’s eponymous heroine is a wide-eyed sexual patsy who leaves home only to suffer a series of sexual degradations that she bears with the same naïve stoicism of her high literary counterpart. When the Olympia Press published the novel in 1958 it became an instant succès de scandale. Banned in France but pirated all over the world due to a copyright oversight on Girodias’ part the novel brought Southern a worldwide readership.
