AUTHOR'S NOTE

Those who find David Parker's behaviour taxing their belief may care to ponder on the genuine case of Issei Sagawa,the japanese student who inspired "A POUND OF FLESH".
Sagawa,the son of a wealthy japanese family,came to Paris to study French literature.In 1981 he met another student,a Dutch woman called Renee' Hartevelt,and invited her back to his flat in the rue Erlanger.When Renee' rejected his advances,Sagawa shot her dead and cut her up into pieces with an electic meat carver,eating some of the flesh raw and some cooked in a shabu shabu pot.Sagawa was arrested as he was disposing of Renee' Hartevelt's remain in the Bois de Boulogne.
He was declared insane and in 1984 sent back to japan by the French authorities on the condition that he would be confined to a mental home.The Japanese complied but after a few months Sagawa was quietly released into the custody of his parents.He now lives in a flat near Yokohama whare his relationships with-most foreign-girls are reported with great gusto by local scandal magazines.
