Description
It's been said that the steamy, graphically erotic novels of Harold Robbins were required (if illicit) reading for many young people coming-of-age in the 60s and 70s. Although some of his earlier work was more serious and realistic in tone, his later books are glitz & glamor (and sex!) all the way. He often writes about the Hollywood film industry, peopling his novels with larger-than-life and incredibly virile characters; and while much of his work has been offensive to many readers (not least for his portrayal of women), this didn't stop him from consistently turning out bestsellers.
