Its hard-cover Black Circle books and its Black Cat and Zebra paperbacks embrace everything from outright pornography (The Pearl) to mystical flights of sexual fantasy (Jean Genet's Miracle of the Rose) to revolutionary calls to action (Frantz Fanon's The Wretched of the Earth). It also has a generous supply of European anti-novelists and provocative psychologists...
