Mr B's review
A young woman drifts through a series of one night stands and fleeting love affairs, her encounters growing increasingly and disconcertingly bizarre. Republished in 2021, Tillman’s forgotten novella packs a real punch: dark, delirious, and disarming, a snapshot of sex and desire in the 1970s that still feels shockingly relevant today. – Liv
Description
A young woman drifts through a series of one night stands and truncated love affairs. Finding herself in a series of increasingly bizarre situations, she turns her curious and savage eye out on the foibles of the world around her. The men of this world evade and simper, they prey, and preen, and fall hopelessly in love. Through these snapshots we get a biting psychopathology, not just of masculinity in its various masks, but of sex and desire in the early 1970s.
