"Introduction by Ann Douglas"--Cover.
Originally published: Boston : Houghton Mifflin, 1983.
During the late Fifties, as a cultural revolution blossomed in downtown New York, the 21-year-old author was part of a circle that included Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, LeRoi and Hettie Jones, Gregory Corso, Robert Frank, Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline. Her story starts as a tale of adolescent rebellion and then becomes a meditation on the relations between the sexes. --Publisher description.
