Who else for a BDSM forum than the Divin Marquis, Donatien-Alphonse-François de Sade...

(I should have let Marquis answer... )

Let's keep in the same realm and try to guess who she is:

Anne Desclos, Dominique Aury, Pauline Réage, yes, the author of the Story of O ...
A big thumbs up for HB1965... Snakes rule!

The important declaration she made to the NY Times in 1994 is when she for the first time admitted she actually had written this book.

Your turn...

Maybe Xuanzang, Hsiuan-tsang in Wade-Giles, the chinese monk who travelled east to bring back original texts of the buddist doctrine?

As an aside, one of my favorite characters in fiction, Sun Wukong the Monkey King, is found in the fictional record of his travels, Journey to the West:
