Stated second printing. Classic '60s sultry cover art. Moderate cover, edge wear, rub. Pages good. Bind good; moderate cant. Scarce classic issue. A novel of obsessive desire - a corrupt young girl and a married man at a crossroads of life. When Frank Chesney first saw her, his reaction was mild annoyance. At forty-two, he was happily married, fond of his three sons and devoted to his job as a business manager for movie people. Neither his wife Sue's concern for her old college friend, nor the news that Duane's troublesome daughter was coming to Hollywood to study acting gave him any sense of foreboding. Patty Godden would be another shooting starlet and he had seen plenty. From the moment he saw her, he knew she was no ordinary girl. Her wild and inchoate beauty; the child's body beneath the woman's shadowed face; her intense, almost rapacious appetite for life set her apart from the others. From the first encounter, Frank felt drawn to her: her world of unreality, suffering and pain, and, eventually, desire and guilt. Robert R. Kirsch (October 18, 1922 August 16, 1980) was an American literary critic and author. Kirsch joined The Los Angeles Times, where he was the literary editor for 23 years. He wrote "thousands of columns, book reviews, and essays." He was one of the first critics to praise the works of Joseph Wambaugh and Tom Sanchez. Kirsch authored several books about California and Las Vegas. He used the pen names of Robert Dundee and Robert Bancroft. He is the namesake of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize's Robert Kirsch Award for Lifetime Achievement. 246 pages. Insured post. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. …
