Us Girls: Joe Orton

It's a hard life being a starlet, but Susan Hope is determined
to make it. With an innocence untouched by events, she
graduates from Soho strip clubs - and the white slave
trade - to Hollywood fame, and of course she confides
it all to her diary. Between Us Girls is a revealing early
novel by a writer whose controversial works reflect his
often scandalous life: essential reading.
Head to Toe

When Gombald Proval strays on to the head of a giant one

a blackly hilarious, nightmarish world - an Alice in Wonderland
for adults. As he travels down the giant's body the everyman
hero is caught in a gender-bending love affair with the
female Chief of Police, thrown in jail with the mysterious
Doktor von Pregnant and finally enlisted in the all-out
war between the inhabitants of the Left Buttock and the
dwellers on the Right Buttock. Will Gombald escape these
myriad perils? And if he survives to reach the Toe, what
then?
