Denham, Alice

Sleeping with bad boys : a juicy tell-all of literary New York in the fifties and sixties / Alice Denham - 1st edition - New York : Book Republic , c2006. - 304 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. - San Miguel de Allende (Mexico)--Author .

Located in Gloria Grant Room - special collection of San Miguel de Allende authors.

Alice Denham's lusty memoir is a juicy tell-all about a time when male writers were gods and an aspiring and gorgeous female novelist tries to win respect — and sometimes more. Caught between the sheets are James Dean, Norman Mailer, Hugh Hefner, Philip Roth, and William Gaddis. The steam rises page by page as Denham — the only Playboy Playmate to have her fiction published in the same issue as her centerfold—chases her dream of writing as a young, oversexed beauty in the literary swirl of 1950s Greenwich Village, New York City.
