From the Wikipedia entry:
.....Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (popularly known as Fanny Hill) is an erotic novel by John Cleland first published in England in 1748. Written while the author was in debtor's prison in London, it is considered "the first original English prose pornography, and the first pornography to use the form of the novel." One of the most prosecuted and banned books in history, it has become a synonym for obscenity.

By the way, and staying in subject, you
film lovers, in which not so recent, but nevertheless wonderful film, the gesture of passing a thread in the eye of a needle was done while speaking of Catherine Deneuve? Karma to go.
Too much Dedalus today.
