Book Description
The Impassioned Escapades of Caroline W. follows the exploits of Caroline Windsor, the novel’s heroine, an educated, cultured, professional fifty-three year old woman who cannot accept the fact that she is an insignificant “nobody.” She has only one ambition and destination in life: to be famous and acclaimed by the world for some exceptional, inimitable achievement. In a race with time, she is a driven, obsessed woman, still striving for her life of FAME, GLAMOUR, GLORY, AND CELEBRITY. She wants desperately to leave this earth with her name on websites and in books, dictionaries and encyclopedias. The dream—that of a young person—relentlessly torments her, but losing it means losing her justification for existing. Believing herself only temporarily thwarted in her quest for fame, and bored with her dull existence, Caroline devises an imaginative plan to seek a TEMPORARY QUICK-FIX and SUBSTITUTE GOAL: to INDULGE IN A PASSIONATE LOVE AFFAIR WITH A YOUNG MAN who will worship her, thrill her and breathe life and fire into her sterile, conventional existence until she can finally achieve her world fame. With this plan in hand, Caroline embarks on what becomes an ELEVEN YEAR ODYSSEY OF ENCOUNTERS WITH YOUNG MEN ONLY HALF HER AGE—MEETING HUNDREDS OF YOUNG FELLOWS ON FIRST BLIND-DATES, ALONE, AT HER RITZY FIFTH AVENUE APARTMENT. What happens when an expectant, eager, young fellow enters Caroline’s apartment ... she, the older sexy woman seeking the fiery, no-strings love affair, and he, hoping to get the part? Unwittingly, Caroline begins to lose her way as she becomes entangled with and endures the most bewildering, extraordinary, offbeat cast of characters in a series of dark, enigmatic events. In a succession of powerful vignettes, Caroline becomes involved with a B & D talent agent, a gorgeous, young confirmed alcoholic, an elegant and smooth-talking American Airlines pilot, a sneaky house-painter, a Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde nephrologists, an apprehensive, married old geezer, a “prosecuting-Caroline” attorney, a famous smut peddler, a strangler-marine, a myriad of physically ill and diseased men, the FBI, an obsessed stalker, a fanatical graduate student, her threatening landlord and his evicting lawyers, her snooty neighbors, and a circus of other center-ring, bizarre characters. But the questions remains. Does Caroline ever find her fame or is she waylaid, tangled in the ecstasy, turmoil, thrills, and sheer recklessness of all her young, impetuous lovers? The book is a light-hearted, delicious romp of SUPER-DRAMATIC TALES with unique, philosophical and psychological insights into love, sex, life, and the continual turbulence between the sexes.
