Number of Pages: 761
Christina Stead's brilliant satire of marriage, desire and the conventions that surround them. One hot night last spring, after waiting fruitlessly for a call from my then lover, with whom I had quarreled the same afternoon, and finding one of my black moods on me, I flung out of my lonely room on the ninth floor (unlucky number) in a hotel in lower Fifth Avenue and rushed into the streets of the Village, feeling bad. Letty Fox- Her Luck, Christina Stead's sixth novel, was first published in New York in 1946, and banned in Australia for its salaciousness. Set in wartime Manhattan and told in Letty's own spiky and exuberant voice, the novel follows her successes and failures in the game of 'being somebody'. Letty's tireless pursuit of love and sex provides the setting for Stead's brilliant satire of marriage, desire and the conventions that surround them.
