Plot / Content: Rating: g "Johnny Preston was born into the crazy, mixed-up beat generation. Soon his ability to convey emotion on a movie screen made him one of its leading representatives. Only, adulation wasn't enough for Johnny. He had to move faster and live wilder than anyone else. He had to drive his car hard and fly a plane carelessly, for kicks - and one day that was the end of Johnny Preston. "With a major film starring Preston still to be released, the studio wasn't talking much about the ghoulish publicity that it was getting gratis from the teen-agers, who stomped around his grave chanting that Johnny wasn't dead. "Others were not so reticent. There was a woman, old enough to know better, but like the others, tempted by the something that hung like a charm around Johnny Preston. She kept a diary. The girl from the acting school had a stenographic record of her life with Johnny. The analyst whose male patient first initiated Johnny into the 'gay' set had only to go to his detailed, clinical file. The movie starlet talked off the record about her relationship with Johnny, and it was a lot spicier than what the man wrote in the magazine. And there was a press agent who had a couple of things to add about a personality that was extravagant even by Hollywood standards." (from the jacket) Background / Biography: The only biographical information that appears to be available on Walter Ross is on the dustjacket.

"'You talk as if you belong to some secret society,' Johnny said. "In a sense, we do," I said. 'But it all sounds so vague,' he said, 'as though you were trying to say something without actually saying it.' 'It's not so vague,' I said. 'You'll learn why there are no women in our group. Not really in it.' 'But what do you do for sex?' he asked. 'Likeminded people never have any difficulty about sex,' I said. 'It's just a natural thing.' 'Natural!' he said. 'With another man?'" pp 211 - 212 Secondhand booksellers |
