In this evocative memoir, this granddaughter of a bootlegger tells
the story of how she went out and got a life. Her father was a bus
driver who died when she was four; her mother worked in a bar to
support the kids. She did well in school and married a Protestant
minister. From the parsonage, she went to the Playboy Mansion,
where for many years she had a personal relationship with 60's guru
Max Lerner. Through Max and others, she developed a friendship with
DNA scientist, Francis Crick; a fascination for Henry Miller,
Simone de Beauvoir and pioneers of the sexual revolution. A United
Nations Conference took her to the Soviet Union, where she married
a second time and founded Moscow Shakespeare and Company Bookstore.
As a college professor. her research on playgrounds in troubled
countries took her to Belfast, Tehran and Managua. Mary lives
between California and Paris, where she created the Paris Writers
Group. She is actively involved with the literary community and is
writing a new book about love, literature and death on a Paris
street.
