The three essays are divided between sexual perversions, childhood sexuality and puberty.

"Would it be a serious breach of etiquette to run out on my own wedding?" This is the question Becky Steele asks herself as she clings to the window ledge of her parents' bathroom, grimly regarding the 10-foot drop into the dustbins below.

Lacking a suitable personality, the writer tries two on for both size and effect. The two forenamed personalities are that of the two-time British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) and the one time Tsar of All the Russia’s Ivan Vasilyvich, better known as Ivan the Terrible (1530-1585). Ivan even outdid Henry VIII in having eight wives (maybe adding additional food for his reported insecurities and ...
