- both psychologically & sexually. An extraordinary novel of psycho-sexual entanglement that was banned for indecency in England in 1966 in " Gordon" Edith Templeton captures one of the most unusual & disturbing love stories ever written. " Templetons characters are not passive or self-doubting. Their pleasure in sexual submission is a mark of their toughness: they can take what their men give them". (" The New York Times"). " Sexual perversion masochistic dependency obsession & suicide". (" Telegraph"). " An unsettling tale of sexual obsession". (" The New Yorker"). " It is unlikely that any young woman will write a book as good as honest as provocative as " Gordon"". (" Telegraph"). " Superbly written & unsettling". (Beryl Bainbridge). Edith Templeton was born in Prague in 1916 & spent much of her childhood in a castle in the Bohemian countryside. Her short stories began to appear in The New Yorker in the 1950s & caused a major stir because of their sexual explicitness (these stories are available in one volume entitled " The Darts of Cupid" as a Penguin ebook). " Gordon" first appeared in 1966 under the pseudonym Louise Walbrook & was subsequently banned in England & Germany; it was then pirated around the world appearing under various titles. In 2001 Edith Templeton agreed to publish the novel with its original title under her own name. She died in 2006."
