Admittedly a bit rough around the edges, the jacket art is fascinating and a great find for fans of the relative film, “Lady Of Burlesque”, starring Barbara Stanwyck. And what lover of underworld noir can’t find a warm place in their heart for a murder novel written by the iconic Gypsy Rose Lee? Especially with an opening line like this––“Finding dead bodies scattered all over a burlesque theater isn’t the sort of thing you’re likely to forget.” OK, I’m in! The dust-jacket is now protected in a brand new BroDart archival cover. “The G-String Murders”––Amazon Synopsis: “A mystery set in the underworld of burlesque theater, The G-String Murders was penned in 1941 by the legendary queen of the stripteasers—the witty and wisecracking Gypsy Rose Lee. Narrating a twisted tale of a backstage double murder, Lee provides a fascinating look behind the scenes of burlesque, richly populated by the likes of strippers Lolita LaVerne and Gee Gee Graham, comic Biff Brannigan and Siggy the g-string salesman. This is a world where women struggle to earn a living performing bumps and grinds, have gangster boyfriends, sip beer between acts and pay their own way at dinner.” Always Great Things @ www.poetrope.com Books––Films––Music.
