James Branch Cabell
'Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice,' an entry in the Poictesme series, is an epic fantasy voyage as well as an erotic fable. Cabell himself wrote: 'This fable is, as the world itself, a book wherein each man will find what his nature enables him to see; which gives us back each his own image; and which teaches us each the lesson that each of us desires to learn.' Jurgen was banned for decades because of its explicit content. It was, and remains, a groundbreaking early fantasy novel and a worthy addition to the Wildside Fantasy Classics line. 3
