| Summary | "The Sins of the Cities of the Plain; or, The Recollections of a Mary-Ann" by Saul is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work is characterized as a pornographic narrative that delves into explicit themes surrounding homosexuality and pederasty. The story primarily follows the experiences of the main character, who is seeking to explore the hidden aspects of sexual desire in London's queer underbelly, particularly through the interactions with a range of male characters. The opening of this provocative novel begins with a narrative from a writer intrigued by a charming, effeminate young man he encounters in Leicester Square. This chance meeting leads the writer to invite the young man, identified as Jack Saul, to his chambers for a drink and a discussion, as well as to explore their mutual desires. The initial attraction quickly escalates into explicit sexual exploration, with descriptions of their intimate encounters. The scene sets the tone for the novel's unabashed exploration of sexuality, reflecting the protagonist's quest for excitement and the revelry of unrestrained experiences of lust, revealing a frank portrayal of taboo subjects in Victorian society.
