Flashbacks detail a history of pre-adolescent sexual abuse liberal misuse of alcohol and far too many encounters with men. This time Gloria desperately hopes will be different. . . . O'Hara always claimed that his various protagonists were taken from the psychological profiles of real people but here was a bone fide roman à clef drawn from the diaries and tragic demise of one Starr Faithful alleged to have had relationships with a number of prominent citizens including former mayor Jimmie Walker."

There is a tiny nick at the upper edge of the front panel. Large 8vo 586pp; white linen. An attractive copy in the controversial Larry Rivers dust jacket that was rather ineffectually suppressed post-publication. Ashbery's bibliographer notes that 3500 copies were printed of which nearly half were sent to the Reader's Subscription book club. "Members of the O'Hara family objected to the original Rivers dust jacket and insisted that another jacket be substituted . . . Reader's Subscription would only accept those copies with the Rivers jacket and these were released. In addition the review copies and at least fifty copies shipped to a New York bookstore had the Rivers jacket. The original jackets are dated '10/71' on the back flap . . ." Kermani B25. Alfred A.

In a lovely near fine dust jacket -- spine just a bit sunned. <br/><br/>"Butterfield 8" was made into a film in 1960; directed by Daniel Mann starring Elizabeth Taylor and Laurence Harvey. Taylor then 28 years old won her first Academy Award for her performance in a leading role. According to MGM records the film made $6.8 million in the US and Canada and $3.2 million in other countries resulting in a profit to the studio of $1857000 -- making it MGM's biggest hit of the year. Elizabeth Taylor and her then-husband Eddie Fisher hated the film referring to it as "Butterball Four." Her famous response to the success of the film made under protest in order to fulfill a contractual obligation to MGM before being allowed to depart to 20th Century Fox to make Cleopatra: "I still say it stinks." Elizabeth reportedly hated the film because at the time of its making the studio was tying her down to the project and in response to her "stealing" Eddie Fisher away from his previous wife Debbie Reynolds U.S. fans were referring to Taylor as a "slut" and a "homewrecker" descriptions which also describe her character Gloria.
