The Love Machine by Jacqueline Susann

The Love Machine by Jacqueline Susann

In a time when steak, vodka, and Benzedrine were the three main staples of a healthy diet, when high-powered executives called each other baby and movie stars wore wigs to bed, network tycoons had a name for the TV set: they called it the love machine. But to supermodel Amanda, socialite Judith, and journalist Maggie, the love machine meant something else: Robin Stone, a TV-network titan around whom women flutter like so many moths. . . . The novel deals with his rise and fall as he makes the international sex scene (orgying in London, transvestiting in Hamburg), drinks unlimited quantities and checks out the latest Nielsens.

In the world of publishing, Jacqueline Susann is a legend. Valley of the Dolls, her debut novel, was published in 1966 and has sold over 31 million copies in thirty languages. Susann was the first author to have three books on the New York Times bestseller list in a row. She was married to Irving Mansfield, a producer, until her untimely death on September 21, 1974, following a valiant struggle with breast cancer. Susann's twelve-year battle with the disease was kept a well guarded secret until after her death. She was fifty-six years old.
