...appeared on a dust jacket since the first two printings of Catcher (it was yanked off the third edition at his request).

One election year in Louisiana, she entertains a cotton-pickin', git-tar-strummin' candidate for Governor (Dean Martin), who so deeply appreciates her "campaign contribution" that he asks her to marry him.

Among his family are a son who loathes his wife and lives openly with a slave girl, and a lewd, liquored-up daughter-in-law (Brooke Hayward) who, from having been her "brother's whore," becomes a Mandingo youth's relentless seducer. Among the play's activities are brutal floggings, slaves who maul and kill one another while their masters bet on them, the daughter-in-law's horsewhipping her pregnant rival...
