Seesaw Sunday

.This is a wild, wise, swinging novel about a new generation of young Americans who seesaw between furious conviction and the shrug of the uncommitted. And like these people, it is bold, impudent, sensitive and shamelessly comic.You will meet Val, a professional photographer, a sensual virtuoso of thirty, brilliant and promising, a drifter afraid to become involved….an insatiable man who thirsts for joy provided there are no strings attached….You will meet Tanya a striking, dark-haired model of twenty-eight…an actress on the verge of success. Witt, liberal, socially conscious, hip…a swinger who somehow never quite managed to get married….You will meet Honey, an attractive blonde model, generous, childish, amoral, mysterious…she lives in a world of illusion where she can rarely be hurt because escape is so easy….All are suddenly, brutally brought into focus one fateful weekend when Val, nineteen camera buffs, and the two models ride out to a secluded, rural hideaway to take some nude studies.What starts out as an innocent, perfectly legal, and almost happy enterprise ends in surprise, desperation, and, finally, horror, when a local district attorney orders a police raid.What happens to them as a group, and then as individuals forced to make some crucial decisions, develops into a stunning panoramic vision of our contemporary world.This is also a story that reveals many unexpected and unforgettable faces of love. It is the story of two young women who are irresistible drawn, each in her own way, to a magnetic young man who seems incapable of love or even hate…a man unable to give up the life he finds so hypnotically satisfying–until that seesaw Sunday.
