Wife Going Down

Normal. A frequently used word, yet a word whose exact meaning is as elusive as the term "perverse". What those two words imply seems to vary from nation to nation, from community to community, from person to person. Among one African tribe it is considered obscene to expose ones back to others. In many Eskimo communities it is the height of hospitality for a man to offer his wife to a quest. The Bacons appear outwardly to be an average American family. Phil Bacon is a typical-looking father, Louise Bacon considers herself to be like today's housewife, and Monty Bacon could pass for anybody's son. Yet the three of them behave in ways that many others would consider abnormal. But even they are eventually convinced that they are doing nothing wrong. And who is to say whether they are normal or perverse? WIFE GOING DOWN - a novel of major interest to any who hope to find and define their own standards of correct behavior.
