About This Item
New York:: Crown,, (1992). SIGNED hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing. The author's second novel, one "full of comic turns and virtuoso storytelling - During a visit to New York's most prestigious museum, Eric Auden slips into a wing under renovation and impulsively pockets an ancient idol of the Goddess of Desire. As the city speculates about the bold thief's identity, Eric begins a new life under the goddess's spell. He moves to a West Village loft and reencounters a childhood friend, Timothy Rampling; they haunt the downstairs cafe, The Mystery Roast, and and there - capitalizing on both the tabloid publicity blitz and the goddess's mysterious power - start to sell replicas of the idol."
