Looking for Mr Goodbar - a Novel af JUDITH ROSSNER
I can't remember much about this book, after all the years since I read it.
That was a shocker for which the 'innocent-looking' grey covers and beautiful binding of this Persephone edition did not prepare me! I'm going to be thinking about this book for a long time, but the feeling I'm left with, mostly, is anger. Anger at a system which--historically, at least--punishes women for their sexuality and their ability to bear children. (Well, let's be honest . . . not just historically but still to this day).
One I had always meant to read but never got around to. Holds up well taken out of its time.
A good solid book about the potential consequences of promiscuity before the age of AIDS.
People who live in this generation might not understand or appreciate this book. After all, we are living in a world without boundaries where sexting happens with people you've never met as easily as it does with someone you know, married people are fair game in the dating arena, and senior citizens are the fastest growing population to contract HIV.
Does anyone know of a book that speaks to this generation about the relational consequences between men and women?
