The book

Gore Vidal's 1968 novel was the beginning of Myra mania. With no advance publicity, the highly satirical story of a man-hating transsexual quickly became a sensational bestseller. Those who understood it were amused; those who didn't were shocked.

 





The original hard back, as published by Little, Brown and Company in 1968

A much more recent paper back edition, published by Penguin 

 






You can buy the book at your local Barnes & Noble, Borders or other large chain book store; or you can order it on line.
