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

These three novels are thematically linked first-person narratives set at 50-year intervals. Clap Hands! Here Comes Charley charts the rueful comic journeys of a young, neurotic traveling salesman, the recalcitrant abandoned nephew in his care and a one-time torch singer who offers the reluctant uncle a glimmer of romance. Another singer, Franny Tolentino, now a Jersey City real-estate entrepreneur, narrates the funny He's All Mine, in which she takes a clear-eyed look back at her 15 minutes of fame as lead vocalist for the Frantastics two decades before. The most ambitious and troublesome novella, Where We'll Never Grow Old, occurs in the year 2037, and depicts the budding friendship of Joy and Tragedy, two teenagers in a shattered civilization afflicted by a plague so overpowering that their early deaths are all but assured.
