Is sex the basic force of life – or is it a terminal disease? For Rodney Buckthorne, sensitive satyr, literate lecher, aging Bohemian nearing the summit in a life-long struggle up the dizzying heights of Mount Venus, the answer to this question seemed near at hand. Seeking it, he had fled wife, child, and the groves of academe, had put behind him the years misspent in guiding nubile co-eds through pastures of poetic plenty, and had launched himself into one last seminal odyssey through the hearts and beds of New York’s women.
