The Myrtle Of VenusA self styled "modern novel of sex, art, and real estate." The world's blandest woman inherits an old warehouse and tries to evict its tenants, a ragtag group of underground artists. They decide to win her over to their side, using the power of seduction to make her an aware, sensual woman. That's just the start of the action, as eleven vivid characters cope with liberation, manipulation, high ideals, and lowdown dirty deals. A raucous, robust novel
