Eden Eden Eden

Published in France in 1970, Eden, Eden, Eden was immediately banned and remained a proscribed text for the next 11 years. Set in a polluted and apocalyptic zone of the Algerian desert in a time of civil warfare, this delirious, lacerating novel brings scenes of brutal carnage into intimate collision with relentless acts of prostitutional sex and humiliation.

Pierre Guyotat has been reviled and revered in equal measure in his native France. With an introduction by Stephen Barber, this is his most livid, murderous book to date.
