Looking for Mr. Goodbar | 
pickThe cover doesnt reflect a dramatic story based on a true crime. We know at the opening that a woman has been killed but then the bk tells the story of Theresa Dunn, her life as sister,dtr, teacher, in 60's NY who lives a life where she enjoys sexual encounters in the city's bars.The bk gives voice to the victim, a tough read but compelling. I've not seen the film but plan to do so if I can find it. A remarkable bk that feels ahead of its time.
Ruthiella I read this 30 years ago. Good to know it holds up. 3y
Leftcoastzen The film is good to . It‘s been awhile but I remember feeling both were ahead of their time . If you Google the original first edition, it definitely seems more accurate but of course has a certain 70s look. 3y
andrew61 @Ruthiella Yes it did not feel dated at all. 3y

andrew61 @Leftcoastzen thanks, definitely want to watch it now, googling the cast I have always liked Diane Keaton but also what must be a young Richard Gere. 3y
TheLudicReader I loved the movie. Young Richard Gere as I recall. 3y
EvieBee This is one of my faves. So dark but forward thinking! 3y
