Author Kernochan followed around a real duo before writing this riotous, raunchy novel. The story: a conniving (and big-breasted) scam queen named Kristal schools a young (small-breasted) naif in the art of the "dry hustle." Starting in a Times Square dance hall, the two women travel across bicentennial America, targeting hapless males in a string of Hilton hotels - until they run into Cody, a con man who is a master seducer in his own right. First published in 1977, Dry Hustle is now considered a classic."Serves up some of the raunchiest, explicit sex scenes yet...ferociously funny..." - Barbara Bannon, Publishers Weekly"Entertaining, ingenious scams. It's raunchy...fast-paced and funny!" - San Francisco Examiner"What's a nice girl from Sarah Lawrence doing writing a dirty book like this?" - US Magazine
