JACKET BY: Visuality. SYNOPSIS: This is a strange story, a story of our times--even more fascinating because it is true. It is a record of the tense, erratic, disturbing ten years Louise Thoresen spent with her husband, William--until she shot him to death in June, 1970. William was twenty when they met--bright, handsome, promising, son of a Chicago multi-millionaire. They fell in love and got married. But there was to be no sparkling career, no brilliant future. William was restless; William was interested in doing other things--and getting Louise to do them with him. Like stealing, bombing a radio station, experimenting with drugs--like criss-crossing the nation amassing an illegal arsenal eventually estimated at seventy tons of arms and ammunition. And Louise went along--because she loved him, and because it was exciting: "it gave everybody something to do." She helped him escape from a mental institution, bailed him out of jail; in the course of their exploits together, she was herself arrested "more times than John Dillinger." But it wasn't long before she began to realize William was more than just restless; he was mad. And his interests, she found, extended even as far as murder. And perhaps it was inevitable that the murder that would come to interest him most would be her own. IT GAVE EVERYBODY SOMETHING TO DO is a book that could only come out of that most deranged of decades, the 1960s. It rivals fiction in its compelling blend of drama, adventure and suspense. It is a true story about real people--one you won't forget for a very, very long time. Novelist E. M. Nathanson, who worked with Louise Thoresen on the story of her years with William is best known for his best-seller THE DIRTY DOZEN. He has also written screenplays. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
