Synopsis:

The 60th anniversary edition of Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg's classic satirical novel, reissued with a new introduction by bestselling author and actor B. J. Novak

Banned upon its initial publication, the now-classic Candy is a romp of a story about the impossibly sweet Candy Christian, a wide-eyed, luscious, all-American girl. Candy -- a satire of Voltaire's Candide -- chronicles her adventures with mystics, sexual analysts, and everyone she meets when she sets out to experience the world.
