Closing Time Zusammenfassung

Closing Time: The True Story of the Looking for Mr. Goodbar Murder Lacey Fosburgh

The real story behind the murder of a Manhattan schoolteacher that became a symbol of the dangers of casual sex: A first-rate achievement (Truman Capote).

In 1973, Roseann Quinn, an Irish-Catholic teacher at a school for deaf children, was killed in New York City after bringing a man home to her apartment from an Upper West Side pub. The crime made headlines and the ensuing case quickly evolved into a cultural phenomenon, spawning both a #1 New York Times-bestselling novel and a film adaptation starring Diane Keaton and Richard Gere, and sparking debates about the sexual revolution and the perils of the pickup scene at what were popularly known as singles bars.

In this groundbreaking true crime tale, Lacey Fosburgh, the New York Times reporter first assigned to the story, utilizes an inventive dramatization technique, in which she gives the victim a different name, to veer between the chilling, suspenseful personal interactions leading up to the brutal stabbing and the gritty details of its aftermath, including the NYPD investigation and the arrest of John Wayne Wilson.

An Edgar Award finalist for Best Fact Crime, this classic of the genre is more riveting, and more tragic, than the Judith Rossner novel-and 1977 movie Looking for Mr. Goodbar (Men's Journal).
