Found this fascinating article by Alexis Lykiard on Pierre Mac Orlan, written on the publication of his translation of Mac Orlan's Masochism in America
http://www.pennilesspress.co.uk/prose/mac_orlan.htm
At least one of his Sadie Blackeyes titles has also been translated.
I'd been vaguely aware of Mac Orlan as the author of thrillers that were the basis of many a classic French crime movie, but had no idea that he also wrote flagellation erotica. Nor was I aware that the genre had been so huge in pre-war France - I thought it was more a British fetish! More background here:

Some intriguing titles here, along with the usual confusion of pseudonyms!

That's very interesting, thanks. Mac Orlan is one of my childhood adventure authors, didn't know about this side of him.

Thanks! Another useful contribution to the pseudonymerie of erotica.

Much of general interest in this piece, but I was particularly taken by Mac Orlan's personal erotic scrap-book, itself a work of art.
