Produktinformationen zu „Love Junkie (ePub)“

The diabolically clever, shamelessly brass-balled, wrenchingly funny (NY Native) story of love, lust, and the agony of romantic disillusionment.

Adored by the likes of Amy Sedaris, Madonna (who optioned the film rights), and Gordon Lish, Love Junkie is Robert Plunket's cult novel of the heady heyday of gay New York at the dawn of the AIDS epidemic: scandalously long out of print, it is now gloriously reissued for a new generation of readers.

Mimi Smithers, a modern-day Emma Bovary, is a fortyish suburban housewife who has an eye for décor and dreams of hosting lavish cocktail parties. Reflecting on her time in Tehran with her Union Carbide executive husband, she says, In the waning months of the Shah's regime, entertaining became more and more difficult. Hamsalways a problem in Islamic countrieswere as rare as hen's teeth. After their move to Westchester, a party she hosts for Mrs. Rockefeller goes south, and she falls into a deep funk. But then life takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles down into the gay rabbit hole of Manhattan and Fire Island society and meets Joel, a porn star with a chest as smooth as a Ken doll. Soon she's helping him with his lucrative mail order business (signed photographs, used underwear, verbal abuse audiotapes), and her real dreams and adventures begin.

Autoren-Porträt von Robert Plunket

Robert Plunket was born in Greenville, Texas in 1945, and raised in Havana and Mexico City. After an unsuccessful stint as an actor in New York, he moved to Sarasota, Florida, where he became Mr. Chatterbox, the gossip columnist for Sarasota Magazine. He is now retired and has found peace and contentment at a lovely trailer park in Florida. New Directions also publishes his novel My Search for Warren Harding, described by Danzy Senna in the foreword as one of the best, and most invigorating books I'd read in years, and certainly the funniest.
