St. Martin's Press. New York. 2002. First Edition, eighth printing in fine red cloth boards with gold lettering on spine. Inscribed on title page by author. Minor shelf wear on unclipped ($23.95) dust jacket protected with removable mylar cover. The true story of a mother who gave her son away to be raised by her psychiatrist. Perhaps reading a few of the blurbs on the jacket back will provide more insight: "A hell of a book or a book about hell, or both." Neal Pollack. "A dystopian sitcom-the Brady Bunch in Hell as codirected by John Waters and David Lynch. Strange, outrageously funny, and very, very unsettling." Gary Krist.
