Eden, Eden, Edenis a French novel by Pierre Guyotat first published in 1971 with a preface by Michel Leiris, Roland Barthes, Marguerite Duras, and Philippe Sollers. This book was banned from being publicized or sold to under-18s. A petition of international support was signed (notably by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Jean-Paul Sartre, Pierre Boulez, Joseph Beuys, Pierre Dac, Jean Genet, Joseph Kessel, Maurice Blanchot, Max Ernst, Italo Calvino, Jacques Monod, Simone de Beauvoir, and Nathalie Sarraute). François Mitterrand, and Georges Pompidou tried to get the ban lifted but failed. Claude Simon (who won the Nobel Prize in 1985) resigned from the jury of the Prix Médicis after the prize wasn't awarded to Eden, Eden, Eden. In 1981 the ban on Eden, Eden, Eden was lifted.

It was published in an English translation in 2003 by Creation Books.
