Described by Susan Sontag as one of the few works of the erotic imagination to deserve true literary status, The She Devils (Trois Filles de leur Mère) remains Pierre Louÿs’ most intense, claustrophobic work. A study of sexual obsession and monomania, it is unsurpassed in its depictions of carnal excess, unbridled lust and limitless perversity.
From a chance encounter on the stairway with a voluptuous young girl, the narrator is drawn to become the plaything of four rapacious females, experiencing them all in various combinations of increasingly wild debauchery, until they one day vanish as mysteriously as they had appeared.
This new edition also contains Louÿs’ lewd novella Toinon, now widely available in English for the first time, in which the author gleefully describes various sexual misdemeanours in a girls’ boarding school.
