Castrated: My Eight Months in Prison

Description: (Biography) Ginzburg, Ralph (et al): Castrated:: Hardcover. Avant-Garde Books, New York. 1973. 1st Edition, 1st Printing. Near Fine Very Good+ This book is in Near Fine condition and has a Very Good+ dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. The text pages are clean and bright. The endpapers are illustrated with black and white photographs of the author (his prison booking photos).

There is one very small nick to the front dust jacket flap edge. From Wikipedia: "Ginzburg studied journalism at the City College of New York, was editor-in-chief of its downtown campus newspaper, and on graduation in 1949 became a copyboy and cub reporter at the New York Daily Compass. Two years later he was drafted into the Army during the Korean War and assigned to Fort Myer, where he edited the post newspaper. While still in the Army, he worked at night as a copy editor for the Washington D. C. Times-Herald. Upon discharge from the Army he shifted into broadcasting and magazines, working for Esquire magazine, NBC, Reader's Digest, Collier's, LOOK and, as he put it, "other pillars of communications industry respectability". He finally saved enough money to rent his own office — a fifth floor walkup in an old Manhattan office building. His first publication was An Unhurried View of Erotica (New York: Helmsman Press, 1958). This rather scholarly-seeming book explored an ostensible undercurrent of pornography that runs throughout English literature. Beginning with a manuscript given by Leofric, Bishop of Exeter, to his cathedral in 1070 through the outright pornographic work of the 1950s, An Unhurried View examines examples of English erotic literature in an interpretive and explanatory context. The end of the book includes a bibliography of 100 titles. He convinced the notable psychoanalyst Theodor Reik to write the introduction." Ginzburg was the editor and publisher of the short lived and suppressed quarterly Eros which led to his imprisonment and from that, this biographical piece. Later, he launched Avant-Garde, another quarterly for "People ahead of their time". (from Wikipedia) 2 132 0913568007 #41395 $50
