Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Looking for Mr. Goodbar

Theresa was a quietly satisfied young teacher by day. But when the sun went down, her life was an endless, faceless whirl of bars and beds and men she'd never seen before and wouldn't see again. If she couldn't find love, she took chances on men who were better than no men at all. And learned, with each new night and each new nightmare, that finding her man was only the beginning.

Starts with Gary White's confession to violently assaulting and murdering Theresa Dunn in her New York apartment. Then goes back over Theresa's life and the experiences that brought her to bring Gary White back to her apartment. I didn't particularly like Theresa as a character, however towards the end you are hoping she and James will work things out, while knowing that can't happen.

Reread in 2019, almost one year later: This book hasn't lost its grip on me, the writing style is magnificent in that it actually makes you slip into Theresa's shoes and understanding her so well despite her quite...obscure ways of living. Whoring around in bars is not exactly one of my favourite past-time activities, and yet I felt I could connect with Theresa so much. After all, self-sabotaging is something probably many of us are prone to, and often unwilling to admit even to ourselves.

I saw the movie, starring Diane Keaton long ago and it stuck with me. The book was just as dark and dreary. Is it a 1970's statement about what happens to a reluctant feminist? Or is it simply the story of one confused woman. I think it can be read either way.

Sexually he was like a dose of anesthetic, he made her go dead all over, but he was so nice! Judith Rossner, Looking for Mr. GoodbarI reread this every so often. I have seen other reviews that say this book never really got the credit it deserved and I agree.SPOILERS:You know from the beginning that Theresa is not long for this world. It is in the opening scene. So it is difficult at least for me it was as I got attached to her character.It is funny that this book was so controversial back

The true story this novel is based upon is a sad tale and details can easily be found on the internet. The story details the awakening of a young woman raised in a repressed home. As a child, Terry, the main character, was ill as a child and the illness, prolonged with a missed health diagnosis, heavily impacts her later life. As an adult, Terry flees to the city and soon follows a journey of city life exploration and her own sexual awakening. At first, she leads a more innocent lifestyle, which

What I remember most about this book is how much it made me blush, and made my ears turn beet red. This would have been no issue, except for the fact that I spent the week reading it on my commute to work on a busy train. Each day that week I took for granted that my fellow commuters hadn't either (a)read the book or (b) watched the 70s film starring Diane Keaton. Ugh! Boy was I wrong. On one of the last days that week, after I'd nearly missed my stop with the last 23 pages hanging in the

This was a popular bestseller in the 1970's. I finally got around to reading it in the 1990's. It's was a very graphic and explicit novel about a female teacher, who cruised bars at night and led a promiscuous existence, until she met the wrong one night stand. I believe it was also made into a movie. Good book, but I didn't care for the main character, so could not relate.
