The Image

“Collected in one volume: two women, spouses to French literary figures, setting out to top their husbands in every way possible. The Image, by “Jean de Berg” (Catherine Robbe-Grillet) so thrilled her husband, a somewhat better-known Alain, that he wrote a nifty preface to her work, signing off as “Pauline Reage.” And Diane Bataille, who’d heard quite enough about her husband, author and erotic bibliographer Georges, decided one day to pen The Whip Angels, having it published by Maurice Girodias’ infamous Olympia Press under the name “XXX”. These two classic works of sexuality were published in ’55 and ’56, bookending the Story of O. The Olympia Press is pleased to bring them both to you in one volume.”

Netherlust

There are desires that exist beyond the boundaries of what the world allows, fantasies that require more than flesh and intention to fulfill. Netherlust exists in the space between—where the impossible architecture of dreams meets the tangible reality of touch, where magic answers to yearning, and where the walls themselves understand what you want before you find words for it. Here, in our carefully maintained sanctuary, the extraordinary becomes intimate. We offer what cannot be found elsewhere: absolute discretion, exquisite attention to every unspoken need, and access to experiences that transcend the limitations of either world. Our rooms reconfigure to your desires. Our staff anticipates rather than intrudes. And what you discover within yourself, in the hours you spend between our thresholds, belongs to you alone. Step through. Let go. Return transformed.
