It's the summer of 1965 and Emily, Vincent, and Marsha are at the beach. All three are ambitious and artistic; all are hovering around thirty; and all are deeply and mercilessly invested in analyzing themselves and everyone around them. The friends discuss sex, shrinks, psychedelics, sculpture, and S and M in an ongoing dialogue where anything goes and no topic is off limits. \u003ci\u003eTalk\u003c\/i\u003e is the result of these conversations, recorded by Linda Rosenkrantz and transformed into a novel whose form and content put it well ahead of its time. Controversial upon its first publication in 1968, \u003ci\u003eTalk\u003c\/i\u003e remains fresh, lascivious, and laugh-out-loud funny nearly fifty years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLinda Rosenkrantz\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books of fiction and nonfiction--including \u003ci\u003eTelegram\u003c\/i\u003e, a history of telegraphic communication and \u003ci\u003eMy Life as a List: 207 Things About My (Bronx) Childhood\u003c\/i\u003e, a memoir--and is the co-author of \u003ci\u003eGone Hollywood: The Movie Colony in the Golden Age\u003c\/i\u003e.
