Description

This the comic novel, told in epistolary fashion as a sequence of exchanged letters, presents pornographer "Guy LaDouche" retreating to the wilderness with the hope of solitude and concentration to write his next book under a looming deadline.

Instead of peace, he finds harassment and distraction from his publisher, his old girlfriend and an angry father convinced that LaDouche's last novel, featuring a genuine nymphomaniac, was based on the man's daughter. Soon, the author finds his quiet getaway plan beset by a lawsuit and investigation by the FBI and local sheriff.

Clever, sarcastic and, at times, over-the-top absurd, The Man Who Wrote Dirty Books has been delighting readers since its first publication in 1964.

About the Author
Hal Dresner has written teleplays (for Night Gallery, M*A*S*H, and The Harvey Korman Show), screenplays (Catch 22, The Eiger Sanction, and Zorro, the Gay Blade) and short stories (many collected in various Alfred Hitchcock anthologies). He has also cowritten, under a pseudonym, several softcore erotic novels. Most of his work has humorous elements, and he was widely acclaimed for his comic novel The Man Who Wrote Dirty Books.

Reviews
"Really funny" --The New York Times

"There is a superabundance of owlishly solemn writers in America, but very few with the comic talents of Hal Dresner" --Chicago News

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
