Synopsis

In this comic novel by one of America's funniest writers, "the travails of (the) protagonist, a trust-funded trendoid named Guy, his ditzy clubland bride Venice, and their transvestite housekeeper, Licky Barnes, are very perky indeed. . . . "Social Disease" . . . is really about the three major issues of our time: sex, hair, and the telephone" (Paul Rudnick, "New York Magazine").

Reviews

A doorman at the fashionable Club de, Guy Huber is mistakenly thought to have kidnapped the fun-loving wives of a rich sheik, after which he ends up in a resort-like prison. PW praised Rudnick's "gifted eye" and "smooth, sentient style" but noted that this first novel is "light and insubstantial."
