About This Item
New York:: W. W. Norton & Company,, (1988). Hardcover -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. 2nd printing. Sunny is 22, her first novel just published, when she meets noted poet David Harvey, who's divorced, Jewish, and 15 years her senior. Instant attraction is followed by a marriage typical of the early 1950s, with Sunny a supportive wife and mother following where David's work takes them - and thru it all, despite his philandering, Sunny remains a "true believer." But when interest in his work wanes, and hers begins to catch the public interest, the 2 decade long relationship is in trouble. "While Birstein pokes fun at everyone involved in producing literature - writers, editors, critics - this is primarily a rueful story about the loss of passion." 315 pp.
