DONLEAVY, J. P. A SINGULAR MAN
Penguin 1963 Paperback Very Good
As if Donleavy hadn't had enough publishing woes with The Ginger Man, Littl e, Brown & Co. gave him grief by delaying publication of A Singular Man, claim ing their legal department had become concerned with possible obscenity litigat ion that might arise if the book were to be published unexpurgated. Now quite well-e xperienced in dealing with publishers, Donleavy drafted a letter to Little, Brown & Co ., threatening to sue for breech of contract if the book, as submitted, was not published in short order. His sizable amount of damages asked (down to the penny) panicked the publis hers making them think Donleavy had found some legal precedent unknown to them, and the y relented and published the book. In several interviews, when asked if he has a favorite of his works, Donlea vy states, "A Singular Man."

Donleavy, J. P. The Lady Who Liked Clean Restrooms: The Chronicle Of One Of The Strangest S tories Ever To Be Rumoured About Around New York
St. Martin's Griffin June 15, 1998 0-312-18734-3 / 9780312187347 Paperback Near Fine
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Readers of Donleavy's best-seller of 40 years ago, The Ginger Man, may be clamoring for this work; they'll find a moderately effective satire on an insipid, absurd, money-driven world. The story is told in first and third person from the point of view of the ironically named Jocelyn "Joy" Jones. After her husband leaves for a younger woman, she becomes increasingly isolated and angry at the world, and, of course, her fate worsens: her college kids want no part of her; bills mount; she sells her large Scarsdale house, but her financial investor loses all the proceeds. Then her appreciation for clean rest rooms, the great legacy of her grandmother, lands her in a funeral home on one of her day trips to Manhattan museums, where her casual signing of a ledger leads to a multimillion-dollar inheritance from a total stranger, an absurd reversal that cannot undo her suicidal fatigue with the emptiness money had once concealed from her.
