Title: Xaviera Still in Print
Review: It's hard to believe that Xaviera Hollander's racy biography is still in print after nearly 40 years -- and it's still an interesting and provocative read. It's really a tale of high level sex and prostitution in the 1950s and 1960s before everyone and everything came out of the closet. The book is full of sex tips and techniques that will seem old hat to anyone growing up in recent decades, but all of this was very much avante garde when the book was published. On can still read it with pleasure, as I have recently done. It is also interesting as a behind the scenes commentary on life in New York City before the sexual revolution. Sadly, I don't think Xaviera is with us any longer, as I recall she passed away some years ago. Undoubtedly a great lady.
