Notes: An expanded edition, following its predecessor's seizure at customs in the U.S.; it dispenses with Eugene Jolas's introduction and one of the stories, but adds five in its place. Jolas was disgusted with Neagoe's actions both in respect of himself and the work, and ended their association.The rear panel glorifies its status as a controversial book, with various quotes below establishing its literary credentials.
