The Paris Olympia Press
Liverpool University Press is following up their book on Jack Kahane and the Obelisk Press with an equally intriguing title, The Paris Olympia Press, by Patrick Kearney. This is another narrative bibliography covering the life of The Obelisk Press’ successor, The Olympia Press, which was headed by Kahane’s son, Maurice Girodias. Girodias continued the publication of Miller’s Obelisk titles after his father’s death and also brought out Miller’s later books such as The Rosy Crucifixion and Quiet Days in Clichy. Other feathers in the Olympia press hat include Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita and Naked Lunch by William Burroughs. The Paris Olympia Press was released in Britain in November 2007. An American edition, distributed by The University of Chicago Press is due in March.
