MOVIE TIE-IN: This novel was the basis for the 1977 feature film of the same name. SYNOPSIS: Looking for Mr. Goodbar is the story of the life and death of Terry Dunn-an attractive young schoolteacher, educated in parochial school, from a respectable family-the kind of girl you don't notice very much, the kind of girl who seems to have everything under control...until one New Year's Day when she is murdered. In this spellbinding novel, Judith Rossner writes with haunting intensity of the temptations and problems of a young woman of today alone in a big city where there are opportunities for a different kind of life-a life that relieves the boredom of work or dispels the chill of solitude, a life where you can have sex with strangers, where "Mr. Goodbar, " the right bar, is always the next one-the final escape from another restless night at home. With this brilliant book, which evokes the power and tension of such best sellers as The Collector and In Cold Blood, Judith Rossner emerges as a major talent in American fiction. Judith Rossner's previous novels are Nine Months in the Life of an Old Maid, To the Precipice, and Any Minute I Can Split.
