Bordel Muse is a brilliant anthology of French erotic and pornographic poetry composed and sung by Danilo Kiš. Illustrated with extraordinary graphics by Aubrey Beardsley.
In this book, the reader will find erotic verses by almost all great French poets. "The living spring of the city's spirit - Kish writes in the preface about French erotic poetry - like a sinkhole, sometimes it bursts out, sometimes it hides underground, suppressed by puritanism, hypocrisy or academic prohibition, and then it gushes out again like a geyser, at least in the form of a tavern couplet or cabaret singing in the songs of the great chansonners."
