SF in 1974. Prose is cruising around the city with the man who, along with Ellsberg, released Pentagon Papers. She's already (at 26) published two novels, been married and divorced. There's an attempt to portray herself as a typical struggling 20 something, but . . . trips to Mexico, India, Europe . . . back and forth to East Coast . . . $30 in poker game "penny ante." $30. My memory is $30 was two weeks groceries.
