The Twilight’s Last Gleaming

A wildly hilarious novel about the desperate world we live in. Not the world of Catch 22 or Portnoy’s Complaint, but a zanier world: one reeling from pollution, international insanity, political corruption, and the clenched threat of law and order.Into tis cockeyed world of future shock strides Lorrie, a sexpot Joan of Arc who has begun to hear voices. But these are voices induced by marijuana, not by Heaven; the voices of our past great patriots. And they urge her to save the country .This Lorrie attempts, with the help of Justin Warmflash, a young American history professor (and amateur filmmaker) who becomes her lover, an army colonel who would like to become her lover, an angry women’s lib member, and even angrier Black Panther, and a beautiful, uninhibited American Indian. Lorrie organizes a pocket army (equipped with bayonets and gas masks), burns down the local draft board headquarters, and is about to attack the local factory responsible for polluting the air, when strange things begin to happen. The result is one of the wildest climaxes in recent fiction–a flashing, powerful, and witty novel of the now world b the author fo the Savage Place and Seesaw Sunday.
