Amo: The Feminist Centerfold from Outer Space

Alice Denham’s AMO is an amazing carnival of juicy sex, humor and horror, and lofty planetary ideals. The title character is a liberated alien who visits Earth to teach spaced-out sex and equality. She confronts Mal the homicidal revolutionary, Benno the hilarious Mafioso, Whit the insane psychoanalyst, and Pelf the nudie publisher. First she must fight off a nutcase who is choking her to death. Ms. Magazine said, Denham writes better about sex than anyone. Newsweek called AMO Tough and witty. Library Journal called its heroine a superwoman in this super saga and called AMO a women’s liberation classic. A New York Press feature story/interview described it this way: The cult novel, AMO, bubbles with pop art fantasy. A work ripe for resurrection. First published in 1974 by Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, AMO became a cult favorite soon after it appeared. This edition includes the entire original text.
