Jack Saul
The Sins of the Cities of the Plain; or, The Recollections of a Mary-Ann
with Short Essays on Sodomy and Tribadism
"The Sins of the Cities of the Plain; or, The Recollections of a Mary-Ann" by Saul is a work of pornographic literature published in 1881. It purports to be the memoirs of Jack Saul, a young male prostitute working in Victorian London. The narrative follows Saul as he recounts his life story and experiences to a gentleman named Mr. Chambon. The book includes encounters with real historical figures, including the notorious transvestites Boulton and Park, blending possible authentic details with elaborated fiction in this early example of exclusively homosexual erotica.
