The Riddle and The Sphinx

“This is how the woman becomes the goddess,” the gossip writer in this work will explain near the end of the book, a journey that also draws a Goddess into her womanhood.
Here is a Hollywood Faust and a female one at that. She is under the sway of her companion, Lilith, whose own own romance, a mystical, sexy story, creates a trajectory that crosses the star’s descent, but whose falling course she cannot help but guide.
Faustina’s resemblance to Marilyn Monroe is not hidden, and, among other things, allows this epic to chronicle America in the midst of the American century.
