Obelisk Press
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Obelisk Press was an English-language press based in Paris, France, founded by Jack Kahane. It published novels that were too risque to publish in the United States.
Henry Miller's 1934 novel, Tropic of Cancer, had explicit sexual passages and could not be published in the United States; an edition was printed by the Obelisk Press in Paris and copies were smuggled into the United States.
Obelisk also published Anais Nin, James Joyce, Frank Harris and Lawrence Durrell,and also less-known authors as Nadjeda de Braganza.
