About this title

Synopsis

Evangeline Slivenowicz and her five children - from five different fathers - live together in a tiny trailer by the slightly impure waters of Lake Gitches Gumee. At nineteen, Maud, the novel's heroine, is obsessed with sex, power, money, and how to get every single thing she wants, in a way that - although lacking any morality - never involves much violence ... or four-letter words.

From the Back Cover

hor of Slaves of New York and The Male Cross-Dresser Support Group, this satire in the all-too-rare genre of Evelyn Waugh's The Loved One tells a compelling story of the sex lives of people and invertebrates at the end of America's 20th century.
