About This Item
New York: Olympia Press, 1970. Paperback. Light shelfwear. Very good. 246pp. Erotic humor. 'A notorious spoof on spooking - recounts the pleasures and measurements of those who have passed on to (apparently) better things.' Ed Martin is one of the mosr illustrious founding fathers of the Olympian School of Erotic Humor - together with Terry Southern, Chester Himes, Mason Hoffenberg, Ray Kainen, Robert Turner, Steve Canon and Akbar del Piombo. Busy Bodies, first published in Paris by The Olympia Press in 1963, has earned for Ed Martin a large underground fame, which has been steadily growling with the release of each one of his more recent works. Busy Bodies introduces us to a society of ghosts endowed with very earthly appetites, as well as a resolutely bohemian afterlife style. Open this book at any page amd you will see them come to, cropping up at the most unexpected moment in beds, bathtubs, morgues, bidets and social gatherings - not to mention assorted fleshly nooks and crannies. Truly a Haunting book! OPS15.
