The Devil In Miss Jones
New York: Grove Press, Inc., 1973. 1st Edition. 12mo, publisher’s stiff illustrated wraps.
Paperback original of David Danziger's novelization of the hardcore classic. Released during the "Golden Age of Porn" by Gerard Damiano of Deep Throat (1972) fame, the film centers on Justine Jones, an emotionally repressed virgin who decides to end her spinster existence through suicide. Condemned to hell for taking her own life, she uses the opportunity to indulge in all the sinful pleasures of the flesh she avoided during her time on Earth. Inspired by Sartre’s No Exit (1944), The Devil In Miss Jones was critically praised by Roger Ebert, among a slew of other mainstream critics, spawned multiple spin-offs and sequels, and was one of the highest grossing films of 1973. Illustrated with black-and-white film stills. Stated first printing to copyright page. Some rubbing and edgewear. Very good. Item #6464
