The Silken Web: The Erotic World of Paris, 1920-1946<\/span>
An illustrated lecture by Professor Mel Gordon, author of Voluptuous Panic: The Erotic World of Wiemar Berlin<\/span><\/span>
Date: Tuesday, April 20<\/span>
Time: 8:00 PM<\/span>
Admission: $5<\/span>
Presented by Morbid Anatomy<\/span>
In tonight’s illustrated lecture, Professor Mel Gordon<\/a>–author of V<\/a>oluptious Panic: The Erotic World of Weimar Berlin<\/span><\/a> and Grand Guiginol: Theatre of Fear and Terror<\/a>–will present a graphic look at the brothel worlds of interwar Paris. Each of the 221 registered maisons closes–French for “closed house”–had its own unique attractions for its specialized clientele: theatricalized sex, live music, pornographic entertainments, aphrodisiac restaurants, even American-style playrooms and wife-friendly lounges for the customers’ families and bored mistresses. Tonight, have some wine and partake in authentic French culture and their Greatest Generation, complements of Mel Gordon and Observatory.<\/p>

Mel Gordon<\/a> is the author of V<\/a>oluptious Panic: The Erotic World of Weimar Berlin<\/span><\/a>, Grand Guiginol: Theatre of Fear and Terror<\/a>, and many other books. Voluptuous Panic<\/span> was the first in-depth and illustrated book on the topic of erotic Weimar; The lavish tome was praised by academics and inspired the establishment of eight neo-Weimar nightclubs as well as the Dresden Dolls and a Marilyn Manson album. Now, Mel Gordon is completing a companion volume for Feral House Press, entitled The Silken Web: The Erotic World of Paris, 1920-1946<\/span>. He also teaches directing, acting, and history of theater at University of California at Berkeley.<\/p><\/blockquote>
