After Claude

fullDescription

Harriet is leaving her boyfriend Claude, “the French rat.” That at least is how Harriet sees things, even if it’s Claude who has just asked Harriet to leave his Greenwich Village apartment. Well, one way or another she has no intention of leaving. To the contrary, she will stay and exact revenge—or would have if Claude had not had her unceremoniously evicted. Still, though moved out, Harriet is not about to move on. Not in any way. Girlfriends circle around to patronize and advise, but Harriet only takes offense, and it’s easy to understand why. Because mad and maddening as she may be, Harriet sees past the polite platitudes that everyone else is content to spout and live by. She is an unblinkered, unbuttoned, unrelenting, and above all bitingly funny prophetess of all that is wrong with women’s lives and hearts—until, in a surprise twist, she finds a savior in a dark room at the Chelsea Hotel.

   • content: "A very funny book by a exhilarating talent."
3. • premium: False

   • content: "Owens, under the name of Harriet Daimler, was a prominent Parisian pornographer for Olympia Press...[who] as 'Harriet Daimler', became one of Girodias's most celebrated pornographers, someone who struggled 'against her impossible tendency to write more explicitly than the courts will tolerate'"
7. • premium: False
   • source: Eleanor Rackow Widmer, Arts and Society
   • content: "To characterize After Claude as the inevitable lightly veiled autobiography of a 'first' novel is to deny Ms. Owens her due both as a savagely accurate reporter of the current Greenwich Village-Chelsea Hotel scene, and as a gallow humorist of major order...After Claude...is said, with biting verve and accuracy for New York that Mary McCarthy and her reliance on 'facts' would well envy."

   • source: Leonard Michaels, The New York Times Book Review
   • content: "After Claude is a very funny book saved from off-putting vulgarity by an exhilarating talent and intelligence..."
9. • premium: False

    • source: John Lahr, Women's Wear Daily
    • content: "Harriet tells her story like a female Lenny Bruce...while I was reading...I was laughing too hard to see the page."
