PHYLLIS RAPHAEL
OFF THE KING'S ROAD: LOST AND FOUND IN LONDON
"A compelling work that captures an era . . .
Raphael is a talented writer, and she captures
her heightened awareness of post marital-split
life with refreshing vigor." - VeryShortList.com
"At once a powerful coming-of-age memoir
and a vivid study of London in the Swinging '60s."
- Columbia Daily Spectator
"What a journey! Raphael cavorts with everyone
from tripping poets to Marlon Brando." - Marie Claire
"Stylish" - Publishers Weekly
"Immensely appealing" - Booklist
"A delicious book - warm and witty -
one that evokes the Swinging Sixties
from a point of view rarely heard from."
- Vivian Gornick, author of Fierce Attachments
"Acutely observed detail, a tactile immediacy,
a cool, appraising eye, and humor. Plus,
Swinging London! Phyllis Raphael has bid
her memory speak, and we can only listen.
It is a pleasure to do so."
- David Rakoff, author of Fraud
"Her decision to stay in London with her children
is the first she's made for herself in a long time
and a turning point in this fascinating book.
Her weeding through London's poseurs and
hypochondriacs to find a good man is laugh-aloud
funny. She emerges a full-fledged single woman."
- The Los Angeles Times
"Tender, hilarious and utterly charming."
- Hilma Wolitzer, author of An Available Man
"A sheer delight."
- Lynne Sharon Schwartz, author of Two-Part Inventions
