The Candy Men
In the early autumn of 1958, the notorious Olympia Press in Paris published a novel entitled Candy, an erotic, Rabelaisian satire loosely based on Voltaire's Candide. Written by Maxwell Kenton, the pseudonym for co-authors Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg, the novel drew the attention of the French censors. It was banned, reissued by Olympia's intrepid publisher under the title Lollipop, re-banned, and then reissued once more.
