Synopsis

We were in the bedroom together and she was very eager, with a readiness that completely contradicted her coolness toward me during the evening. There was nothing flattering about it. The alcohol had primed her, the music and dancing had quickened her. I was merely a convenience, a perfectly legal and available convenience. It was all very sudden and very meaningless. There were no words of love. Afterward I searched my heart and knew she had killed something. It took me a long time to realise it was my pride in my manhood.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

John D MacDonald was born in Sharon, Pennslyvannia. A graduate of Syracuse University and Harvard School of Business Administration, he began his writing career when he was serving overseas with the United States Army during World War II. Instead of the usual letter home, he wrote a story to his wife Dorothy, which she successfully sold to a magazine. His move to 'pulps' meant that his first novel The Brass Cupeake was published in paperback in America in 1950. This led to over seventy books written in his lifetime, as he became one of the most widely read thriller writers in the world. His success was particularly recognized for his Travis McGee series, leading to critical acclaim and prestigious awards. John MacDonald died on Christmas Day 1986.
