''Decades ahead of its time...Mesmerizing...The equation of
emotional dependencies with drug addiction in one comprehensive
personality disorder is, if anything, MORE CHIC TODAY'' VILLAGE
VOICE ''Jackie, it seemed, understood by instinct that her readers
were ready for the RAW SIDE OF LOVE...for a franker sexuality and a
tougher kind of story - for romance with tears AND oral sex''
Michael Korda, NEW YORKER
內容簡介：
Its three protagonists--Anne Welles, the
uptight-but-full-of-a-strange-yearning New England beauty; Neely
O''Hara, the Judy Garland á clef; and Jennifer North, who is sort of
the Marilyn Monroe á clef and also sort of the Brigitte Bardot á
clef but mainly sort of the least realized character in the
book--all spend most of the novel with what they want
excruciatingly just out of reach, and all are ultimately not only
defeated but self-defeating ... I should say, first of all, that I
have absolutely no criticisms to make of this book. It is perfect,
and I''m not just saying that because I practically memorized it at
the age of 13 and it was one of my primary illicit sources of
sexual information in the gap between information and experience,
and I therefore view it with fond nostalgia.... However
melodramatic its plot may be, Valley of the Dolls is simply
old-fashioned riveting.
關於作者：
Jacqueline Susann left her hometown of Philadelphia at
eighteen and moved to New York where she acted extensively and won
the Best Dressed Woman in Television award four times. But it was
the success of her three blockbuster novels- Valley of the Dolls,
The Love Machine and Once Is Not Enough-that transformed her into
the Pucci-clad media superstar we remember today. Jacqueline Susann
was married to producer Irving Mansfield. She died in 1974. --This
