THE LAST OF THE TRUE BELIEVERS.

Edition: 2nd printing.

New York: W. W. Norton & Company, (1988) dj. Hardcover - 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. ISBN: 0-39302587X.

Condition: Fine in fine dust jacket.
