About This Item

Berkeley: Ata Books, 1981. 178p., signed by the author on half-title page, very good first edition trade paperback in pictorial wraps. A Roman a Clef. The first paragraph describes a scene where Jessica Mitford, Tillie Olsen, Charlotte Painter, Mary Jane Moffat, Kim Chernin, Susan Griffin et al are gathered at a party in Berkeley; photo- montage on covers appears to feature a number of these celebrities in casual snapshot, pix credited to Jane Scherr and Felicia Liu. One of the reviews (no less than The Nation) describes this novel perfectly: "as a murder mystery, fair to middling; as a send-up of the publishing scene, irresistible fun." Bryant is "a feminist since age two," says she was having fun presenting a mystery in which the victim is an icon of feminist writers and the suspects are all women writers with literary ambition as their motive. "A lot of women were angry at me, so I must have been doing something right
