The story of a naive and gorgeous young blond girl - who quickly finds out in exactly what way we men are all, instantly and always, the same - borrows its plot structure from Voltaire's Candide and uses that strangely juxtaposed vehicle to shine a light on all the vagaries of modern western life which beg to be lampooned. Considered by many, then and now, to be a classic of "black (dark) humor". In 2006, Playboy Magazine included Candy on its list of the "25 Sexiest Novels Ever Written".

Second edition; small 8vo; unmarked internally; publisher's green wrappers, priced at 18 N.F. on rear cover, minor rubbing to extremities, else near-fine. Second edition of Lollipop by Maxwell Kenton, the joint pseudonym of Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg, who co-authored this highly sexual satirical take on Voltaire's Candide. Originally published as Candy in 1958, the novel was banned in France a year after its release. As such, new wrappers were printed with the substitute title, Lollipop, and applied to the remaining sheets of the first edition so that the Brigade Mondaine (the French vice squad) wouldn't be able to find the book alphabetically on the 'livre interdit' list. The publishers even went so far as to attribute the Voltaire quotation that opens the book to Rimbaud, successfully thwarting the authorities, particularly for the British export market. This second issue of Lollipop has the substitute title retained, but with the epigram restored and attributed to Voltaire.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Originally published as 'Candy', a collaboration by Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg, under the pseudonym Maxwell Kenton, the title was changed to "Lollipop" by publisher Maurice Girodias following the seizure and burning of almost the entire initial 1958 print run of 5000 copies. By changing the title and reprinting the first few pages, including the dedication "to Master Boon and Master Badj" ( originally Master Hadj and Master Zoon) and re-attributing an introductory quotation to Rimbaud rather then Voltaire, Girodias hoped to fool the censors and customs officials on the look out for contraband at the ports.

Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st edition, 1st issue. Uncommonly Fine. One of the most scandalous of the Olympia Press publications, written jointly by Southern and Hoffenberg by exchanging letters with each other, which was banned even in France rather than just the US and UK as most of the other titles were. The publisher, Maurice Girodias, had the unbound but printed stock rebound with the title 'Lollipop' to evade the censors. After a long legal battle over the copyright the book was finally released in the US and become a best-seller (Playboy magazine included it in their '25 Sexiest Books Of All Time' list in 2006). The narrative is a picaresque about a girl called Candy who keeps getting landed in outrageous sexual situations. It was made into a (mostly terrible) film in 1968, and there have been several other (abortive) attempts to take the story to the screen.

Candy was the basis for the 1968 cult Marquand film of the same name and featured on Playboy Magazine's list of 25 Sexiest Novels Ever Written.

"Candy" not only caused an inevitable furor for its vulgar take on contemporary culture, but brought about landmark changes in how the First Amendment applied to erotic literature. The work, which constitutes the unison of three greatly provocative and time-changing minds (Southern, Hoffenberg, and Girodias), quickly gained classic status and is now one of the most famous "Beat"-novels. It was famously made into an all-star film (starring Marlon Brando, Richard Burton, James Coburn, Charles Aznavour, John Huston, Ringo Starr, Walter Matthau, John Astin, and Ewa Aulin) by Christian Marquand in 1968, and in 2006 Playboy Magazine listed it among the "25 Sexiest Novels Ever Written", describing the story as a "young heroine's picaresque travels, a kind of sexual pinball machine that lights up academia, gardeners, the medical profession, mystics and bohemians."The work was published pseudonymously by Maurice Girodias, owner of the scandalous "Olympia Press", in October of 1958. Almost immediately noticed by the BRP, who seized copies of it in the Paris bookshops, "Candy" was officially banned in France in May of 1959 (under a statute called the "1939 Decree", an amendment to the law of 1881, which gave the French government more power to ban offensive publications in foreign languages).In December of 1958, Maurice Girodias changed the title of "Candy" and reissued it as "Lollipop" in order to fool sensors and sell the remaining copies of the work. This supposedly work quite well and many copies of the book survived thus, leaving the first edition with the original title quite a scarcity, both in the first (not-overstamped) issue and the second issue. Later on, "Candy" was published in North America, by Putnam, under the authors' own names, those being Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg. In an interview, Terry Southern explains the origin of the pseudonym as thus: "Yeah. And the name of the author was Maxwell Kenton. A name I first used with David Burnett, of all people. He was the son of Martha Foley and Whit Burnett of The Best American Short Stories fame. We were collaborating on some short detective stuff, and even sold a couple to Argosy Magazine, and we used the pseudonym 'Maxwell Kenton'. So when Mason at one point had an attack of conscience and said, "Man, I've decided I don't want my mother to know about this book," we took the name Maxwell Kenton so his mother would be spared anguish at her Mah-Jong parties." (Smoke Signals).Terry Southern, though mostly famous for his bestseller "Candy", which greatly influenced popular culture of the 1960'ies, was known for a lot of things, including writing much of the film dialogue of the landmark films "Dr. Strangelove" and "Easy Rider". In his "The Candy Men. The Rollicking Life and Times of the Notorious Novel "Candy", Nile Southern tells the story of the book, the men behind it, and the furor that it caused: "When I was in grade school in 1967, one of my six-year-old classmates, Daisy Friedman (now a writer), turned to me and said, "Your father is a dirty old man!" I asked how she knew that, and she said, "He wrote a book called "Candy" - and it's a dirty, dirty book!" Again, I asked how she knew all this, and she said, "Because my parents told me - they have it on their bookshelf.".
