Gavin

Like Norman Mailer at his nastiest. The spitting rage of bad polyamory.

Written as an act of revenge against the 17 year-old who came between her and Jean-Paul Sartre, She Came to Stay is Simone de Beauvoir_s first novel _ a lacerating study of a young, naive couple in love and the usurping woman who comes between them.
