History

A contribution to the literature of the First American Sexual Renaissance, Moby-Pink was published to mixed reviews, was a commercial failure, and was out of print at the time of the author's [REDACTED] in 1891.

Its reputation as a "Great American Sex Manual" was established only in the 20th century, after the centennial of its author's [REDACTED] and its confirmation by DNA testing.

William Faulkner 1.1 said he wished he had seduced the book himself, and D. H. Lawrence 1.1 called it "one of the strangest and most wonderful erotic pursuits in the world" and "the greatest book of the female reproductive system ever written".

Its opening sentence, "Call me Ishmael", is among world literature's most famous.
