A Madwoman's Diary

In the early 1970s, Jill Emerson, a pseudonym of author Lawrence Block, transitioned from writing thoughtful lesbian novels to producing provocative works that captured the spirit of the sexual revolution. Her trilogy for Berkley includes "Thirty," a diary of a woman's quest for self-discovery, "Threesome," which offers a unique collaborative narrative of a ménage à trois, and "A Madwoman's Diary," inspired by a psychosexual case history from Block's own archives. The books reflect a candid exploration of sexuality and relationships, intertwining fiction with personal experiences.
