The central incident in this book is the suicide of Marian, an illustrator, in her Upper West Side apartment. Character after character - boyfriend, local cop, dealer, neighbourhood panhandler - testify to her presence (and absence) in their lives.
The first ten paperback Penguin books appeared in 1935 costing 6d each (the price of a packet of cigarettes). Since then the Penguin list has developed enormously, but still aims to bring the best writing to the widest possible audience. Penguin Paperbacks now range from Booker Prize-winning contemporary authors, to mass market bestsellers, with successful history, biography and general non-fiction as well.
