[nice tight clean copy, top rear corner lightly bumped, NO remainder or other marks; jacket shows only faint handling wear, one small and almost-invisible closed tear at bottom left-hand corner of front panel]. "A startling showdown between the sixties and the eighties in which Portnoy meets Lolita, at last. It is the story of five people caught in a web of obsession that reaches back into the honky-tonks of the 1800s, the burlesque shows of the 1920s, the free-love communes of the 1960s, and the nocturnal world of 1980s after-hours clubs." Jacket blurbs by Tim Cahill, Madison Smartt Bell, Robert Ward and others.
