Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR AND RARE--------------A Journal of Love by EDWARD MANNIX...............A kiss-kiss and tell-all account of a menage a trois (boy-girl-girl) in the Village (where else) is given by Hughes, a writer. This then records the headiness, the exclusiveness, the ""absolute intimacy"" of his duet with Janine, a student nurse at St. Vincent's, until it is interrupted after one of those Village parties by Roberta, a dyke, who appropriates her. An inset-Roberta's- presumably describes her affair with Janine, only later proves to be one of Hughes' pranks.... Actually, in spot scenes, Mr. Mannix is there's a visit with his Professor's wife, a Georgia magnolia who would give Tennessee Williams pause; a reading of a Rorschach; a discussion of dianetics, which are all sharp. This was written as an ambisextrous game of peekaboo.................. This is the softcover stated POCKET FIRST EDITION FROM MARCH 1966. The book (no dj) is in excellent reading condition.
