"this copy of venus in furs is especially delightful because of the introduction by sylvere lotringer, the founder of semiotext(e). as he says in the intro, it offers such a magical mixture of dream and reality that, in it, the two are inextricable! keep dreaming, my love! leopold von sacher masoch is a heart throb..."
