Valmouth, Prancing Nigger, Concerning the Eccentricities of Cardinal Pirelli (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics)

Her ladyship languishes on the jaguar-skin sofa, robed in pyjamas; a negro boy roams the gold city streets, searching for a shabet but dreaming of butterflies; there, encased in a chasuble, his Eminence baptises the Duquesa DunEden. These are scenes from the novels featured in this collection.
