Summary: Thirty years after his death, a work that represents a turning point in Joe Orton's career is now available.

Written in 1957, Between Us Girls is an extraordinary blend of camp comedy and pent-up eroticism, featuring the first appearance of the unique voice of a writer whose plays would later achieve worldwide acclaim. Genre: Novel -- Humorous fiction.
