About the Book

Alice Denham's My Darling from the Lions portrays the passionate conflict between a young painter and her macho composer husband, their lovers, her female rage, his brutality, and her struggle for self-realization as an artist. The Sunday New York Times Book Review said, "When Miss Denham is being lyrical she is capable of some really incredible language." The Raleigh News & Observer said, "Grace is very much a female animal given to bestial and sensual passions for Carl. Carl can't possibly love her as much as she loves him, so she finds out in a soul-rending experience."
About the Author: Alice Denham (1927-2016) was the highly-praised author of the memoirs Sleeping With Bad Boys and Secrets of San Miguel, the novels AMO and My Darling from the Lions, and many stories and articles. She is the only Playboy Playmate who ever had a short story and a centerfold feature published in the same issue of Playboy magazine. Her short story was made into a festival prizewinning movie. After graduating Phi Beta Kappa from the University of North Carolina in 1949, she won a scholarship to the University of Rochester. After graduate school she headed to New York City. According to the New York Times, "A stunning beauty with a talent for repartee, she made her way easily into Manhattan's literary salons." She was a founding member of the National Organization for Women. In order to make time to write, she modeled in photo shoots for magazines, novels, comic strips, movie posters, and photography clubs. She acted in low-budget films. Her Bad Boys memoir describes affairs with the actor James Dean, Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner, and authors James Jones, William Gaddis, Evan S. Connell, Philip Roth. Alice's literary publications and family papers are being preserved in the Southern Historical Collection at UNC Chapel Hill.
