Description
Marion ‘Joe’ Carstairs was heiress to the Standard Oil fortune and predestined to eccentricity. Marion was by nature a provocateur and lived to challenge the sexual morals of her day. By the 1920s she had seen the battlefield and the barroom, found her identity as a heavy-smoking, tattooed lesbian, distinguished herself as a record-breaking speedboat racer, and become the self-fashioned ruler of Whale Cay, a small Bahamian island she purchased with her considerable personal fortune. The Windsors, Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich were among her eccentric pals, as well as a male doll she called Lord Tod Wadley. This is the first edition with signs of its life as a former library book, in fair condition.
