Seller's Description:
New York. 1979. Norton. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0393088375. 379 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Jeff Seaver. keywords: Literature America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Victor Grant, the narrator and protagonist of these memoirs, is not a lover, but a murderer, though not by choice. His wife, the beautiful Samantha, leaves him after attending consciousness-raising sessions with a feminist friend. Victor then discovers that the career of avenger is the one he has been waiting for all his thirty-six years of thrashing about. After a rigorous three-month course of training, he sets out after his prey-the people he considers representative of all that is wrong with everything. There is Jude Karnofski, author of The Precedence of Women, who forces her husband, Victor ‘s best friend, to undergo a vasectomy and then leaves him. There is Stevie Dickinson, a ferocious, radical lesbian, who tries to seduce Samantha. There is the philosophical pastor Peter Brevoort, founder of the First Church of Christ, Androgynous. Above all, there is the glamorous and heroic Erika von Plaack, editor of Ms. Chief Queen Bee of American feminism, fencer, owner of a townhouse she is renovating to outdo the Playboy mansion, who closes in on Victor as he closes in on her. Victor's encounters with these characters are bloody, comic, grotesque, and unsettling. Victor is not entirely sane. But then he is not entirely crazy either. He has, let us say, a certain slant on things, horrifying, totally unacceptable, morally abhorrent, but maybe, just maybe, our own, if we would only admit it to ourselves. Such, at least, is Victor's claim. And he makes his claim in some of the liveliest, richest, funniest, sharpest, most American prose since Mark Twain. inventory #6791.
