Alan Mac Clyde


Alan Mac Clyde is the pseudonym of two different French authors of pornographic novels, the first active in the 1930s, the second in the 1950s.
  1. Alan Mac Clyde, Edith Kindler, Joan Spanking and Jean de La Beuque fils are pseudonyms for the author of several pornographic novels published in the 1930s by the Librairie Générale and Librairie Artistique et Édition Parisienne Rèunies, imprints of Paul Brenet, a publisher specializing in flagellation and BDSM works.
Robert Mérodack has suggested that behind this pseudonym is hidden Maurice Renard French author of several science fiction novels among which :fr:Le Docteur Lerne, sous-dieu|Le Docteur Lerne, sous-dieu, :fr:Le Péril bleu|Le Péril bleu and :fr:Les Mains d'Orlac|Les Mains d'Orlac. His argument is based on a passage of La Reine cravache where Edith Kindler wrote «taxées de fantaisistes que certain auteur français de grand talent accorde à son héros le docteur Lerne, qu'il qualifie de sous dieu».
  1. Alan Mac Clyde or Alan McClyde is the name used in the 1950s by the Paris-publishers of some English-language erotica: Patrick Garnot of Pall Mall Press and Bronislaw Kaminsky, aka Bruno Durocher, of Week End Books both located in 5, rue Git-le-Cœur, Paris.
