The End of Obscenity was written, the author tells us, in "an at- tempt to offer an insight, to those who are not a part of it, into how our legal system works."' This slows the book considerably for the legal reader,2 but should not dissuade him. It offers insights of other sorts to lawyers and to law students, since it is one of those all-too-rare books in which a lawyer unfolds the history of an important piece of litigation. The book begins with the author's retention by Grove Press in 1959 to defend Lady Chatterley's Lover3 and ends in 1966 with his successful defense of Fanny Hill4 for Putnam before the Supreme Court.

    Translating Sade Amy S. Wyngaard TRANSLATING SADE: THE GROVE PRESS EDITIONS, 1953–1968 n the last paragraph of their foreword to the 1965 Grove Press edition of IThe Complete Justine, Philosophy in the Bedroom, and Other Writings, the translators Richard Seaver and Austryn Wainhouse quote the marquis de Sade’s wish, expressed in his last will and testament, that acorns be scattered over his grave, “in order that, the spot become green again, and the copse grown back thick over it, the traces of my grave may disappear from the face of the earth, as I trust the memory of me shall fade out of the minds of men” (xiv). Seaver and Wainhouse, who believed in the importance of Sade’s writings and were deeply invested in their efforts to produce the frst unexpurgated American translations of his works, express doubt that this prophecy would ever come to pass. The success of the Grove Press translations, however, has in fact caused certain aspects of Sade’s (critical) history to be forgotten. Five decades after their original publication in the 1960s, and two decades after their reissue in the early 1990s, these once-controversial editions of Sade’s works can now be considered mainstream. Widely referenced and readily available, they are more or less an accepted part of the American literary landscape, with only their original prefatory materials left to bear witness to what was one of the most fraught and revolutionary moments in the history of American publishing, not to mention Sade studies. Grove Press publisher Barney Rosset saw the publication of Sade’s works as integral to his fght for the freedom of the press.

Feb 17, 2016/Brooklyn, NY—From Wednesday, March 16, through Thursday, March 31, BAMcinématek presents From the Third Eye: Evergreen Review on Film. Founded and managed by legendary Grove Press publisher Barney Rosset, Evergreen Review brought the best in radical art, literature, and politics to newsstands across the US from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. Grove launched its film division in the mid-1960s and quickly became one of the most important and innovative film distributors of its time, while Evergreen published incisive essays on cinema by writers like Norman Mailer, Amos Vogel, Nat Hentoff, Parker Tyler, and many others. Marking the publication of From the Third Eye: The Evergreen Review Film Reader, edited by Rosset and critic Ed Halter, this series brings together a provocative selection of the often controversial films that were championed by this seminal publication—including many distributed by Grove itself—vividly illustrating how filmmakers worked to redefine cinema in an era of sexual, social, and political revolution. The series begins with a week-long run of a new restoration of Leo Hurwitz’s Strange Victory (1948/1964), “the most ambitious leftist film made in the US” (J.
