Moscow Nights

One of the few top-quality books to emerge from the American Olympia Press, Moscow Nights recalls the heady, early days of the Bolshevik Revolution, when free love was all the rage. Half a century later, we meet Timur, a dealer in the underground mortuary biz, who with his gang offers top-notch burial in the right cemetary... for a price. Of course, Timur and his friends are also involved in prostitution and drug dealing while indulging repeatedly, as Girodias himself put it, "in the priapic delights." Additional: The success of the work had Girodias dreaming of selling untold volumes of Russian-language pornography to the Motherland, all smuggled in by the agency of sailors. Maurice was one of a kind.
