Move! Book

"When is adultery not adultery? Hiram Jaffe walks dogs to eke out his income from writing pornography so he can also write serious plays which he can't sell. His wife, Dolly, works for a psychiatrist. Hiram and Dolly are moving from one room in a West Side brownstone to three rooms in a West Side elevator building, but the moving man doesn't come. Hiram is tormented by the moving man, as he is by his old landlord, his new super, his little sexual problems (marital impotency, jealousy, random lecherousness, etc.) by the dogs he walks, friends and neighbors, and something few of us have by his own personal persecuting New York City mounted policeman. Lovely, luscious long-suffering Dolly wanted a houseful of children. But Hiram, playwright and dog-walker, didn't even want Dolly, let alone children. Which was surprising because Hiram did spend five hours - yes, five hours - making love to a certain blond lady he met while walking the dog. Things really started going wrong when Hiram took a new apartment. A big place with lots of room for the children he didn't want. Why did the Removal man never show up? And make all those insulting telephone calls about Hiram's private life? Was he Dolly's lover?" US Signet Film Cover Edition.
