The Love Machine | Jacqueline Susann

2 posts | 12 read | 1 to read

The spectacular bestseller from the author of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS. In a time when steak, vodka, and Benzedrine were the three main staples of a healthy diet, when high-powered executives called each other “baby” and movie stars wore wigs to bed, network tycoons had a name for the TV set: they called it “the love machine.” But to supermodel Amanda, socialite Judith and journalist Maggie, “the love machine” meant something else: Robin Stone, “a TV-network titan around whom women flutter like so many moths…The novel deals with his rise and fall as he makes the international sex scene (orgying in London, transvestiting in Hamburg), drinks unlimited quantities and checks out the latest Nielsens.”—Newsweek “I READ IT IN ONE GREEDY GULP, ENJOYING EVERY MINUTE.”—Liz Smith “[Susann’s] pulp poetry resonates to this day. WITH HER FORMULA OF SEX, DRUGS, AND SHOW BUSINESS, Susann didn’t so much capture the tenor of her times as she did predict the Zeitgeist of ours.”—Detour

Ok. So: The conclusion of this book has the "dashing" central character surrendering to his deep seated mommy issues (seriously! It's literally the plot!) but, the clothes are amazing, the drugs are billed as vitamins and the real estate is consistently nuts. Ranks 3rd out of my top 3 susanns--if you need a weirdo pickmeup this week, consider it. I wish, for the record, that there was a "so bad it's good" @Litsy button!
