Description:Julie Messinger, a young mother, reflects with sarcastic, bitter humor on her emotionally and sexually barren relationship with her graphic illustrator husband, Richard, as he lies in a coma in a hospital bed. Descriptions of grief, rage, suicidal depression, and drug usage are laced with her own sexual frustrations, fantasies and masturbatory habits. Her confusions are compounded when she finds a diary describing her husband's affairs, and some of the so-called friends visiting the hospital are not what they appear to be. The book is based on author Gould's own experience of finding, and cracking, her husband's "black book" diary after his sudden death following surgery. "Such Good Friends," Gould's first novel, published in 1970, spent seven weeks on the New York Times best-seller list and hit a nerve for many women and men, with its frank depiction of women's sexual and emotional needs. Some referred to it as a female version of Philip Roth's "Portnoy's Complaint." The book was quickly filmed by director Otto Preminger and starred Dyan Cannon. It was released in 1971 to generally excellent reviews.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
