Pierre Louys Escritor francés cuyo verdadero nombre era Louis, que transformó en Louys por excentricidad. Se educó en París donde trabó amistad con André Gide y Paul Valéry. Empezó muy pronto a componer versos y en 1891 se reveló como poeta de tendencias parnasianas. Su obra, empero, aparecía rodeada de un sensualismo que hasta su visión de Grecia, a la que siempre consideró un mundo perfecto, queda reducida a un lugar ideal de amores libres, alegrías fáciles y delicados placeres. Tradujo la poesía de los autores griegos y fue, a su vez, poeta de forma pura. Su gusto de esteta decadente resultaba adecuado al ambiente del simbolismo tardío. Sus obras más notables son Las canciones de Bilitis (musicalizada luego por Debussy) y las novelas Afrodita y La mujer y el pelele, esta última protagonizada en su versión cinematográfica por Marlene Dietrich.… (mais)

«Las tres hijas de su madre» relata la meticulosa iniciación de tres hijas por su madre a la actividad sexual profesional, a sus excentricidades, sus manías y sus vicios, desde su más tierna infancia hasta el encuentro con el narrador de esta novela, quien tiene la dicha de frecuentar asiduamente a esos cuatro seres, para quienes las cosas del sexo han dejado hace tiempo de ser tabú y que, por lo tanto, nos enseñan a recorrer las situaciones más escalofriantes con la ingenuidad y la naturalidad de un niño.… (mais)

My version has the Willy Pogány illustrations and is translated by Alvah C. Bessie.
I’ve been aware of this and meaning to read it for decades. I really don’t know from where—I seem to remember it occasionally cropping up in vague references or allusions. I had no real idea what it was about, but it seemed to be something that some knowledgeable and respected writers had read, and I had vague ideas of eroticism and there were some misty and not really remembered connections with Anaïs Nin and James Joyce in the junk rooms of my memory. So I read it.
I have to admit that I started it with a certain amount of prejudice, knowing that Louÿs had created a, so to speak, forgery. To my surprise, though, I found the character, Bilitis, quite easy to believe in. Once I got my head away from expecting her to be a genuine ancient Greek, I found her story intriguing and, often, quite moving. I’m writing as a male, of course, and very aware that the words were actually written (and translated) by a male and I do wonder if a female would find her voice so genuine, but I really felt for her depictions of unrequited love and of growing old and losing her looks. Time has robbed the erotic bits of any shock value they may have had but I found them reasonably convincing and wasn’t overly aware of them as simply male-gaze titillation.
I thought it quite good and I am glad to have finally read it (though it will always be a minor niggle with me that a male wrote it—don’t really know how to get my head around that).

Je suis une fan de Louÿs - à mon âme et mon corps défendant. Son ingéniosité, sa verve, son humour et sa virtuosité me gagnent, malgré l'omniprésence répugnante de la pédophilie, de l'inceste, de l'orientalisme et du mépris de classe dans son oeuvre. Autrement dit: je déteste être fascinée à ce point. Donnez-moi une dizaine ou une vingtaine d'années, je vais peut-être arriver à me défaire de son influence sur mon écriture, mais pour l'instant, je vais devoir savourer mon plaisir dans la honte.… (mais)
