Pleasures Of Youth — Jan Austen

Has anything changed since Romeo and Juliet, The Art of Loving, The Outsider, Crime and Punishment, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Candy, Lolita, Darwin, Freud, Camus and Herman Hesse?
The women are from Newport, Rhode Island while the men are from West Hollywood, Manhattan, Massachusetts, and Michigan. The same fabled New England family continues to decline and fall. And Jan Austen writes of the man in every woman's life who is able to take her in a blink. He is Michael Wickham. While in every man's life is a woman who gives herself to anybody. She is Lydia Bennet-Towne.
Austen has already written Book One, A Single Man, Good Fortune (Must Want Wife), and Book Two, The Arts for Captivation. Book Three, Pleasures of Youth, is the story of Michael Wickham and Lydia Bennet-Towne--an irresistible man, an irrepressible woman.
One of Austen's novels-written under a different pseudonym-became a major Hollywood movie. Others have been translated into German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish and Swedish. More than thirty different editions of his books have appeared worldwide.
There is a power-a raw strength-in (Austen's) writing that is unquestionably original. Daily Telegraph, London.
