The God of Nightmares

(1990)
A novel by Paula Fox

"Vividly rendered...haunting....[Paula Fox] writes with silken ease and a sensitivity to nuance." - Newsday

In 1941, twenty-three-year-old Helen Bynum leaves home for the first time and sets out from rural New York to find her Aunt Lulu, an aging actress in New Orleans. There she finds a life of passion and adventure, possibilities and choices. Falling in with a bohemian group of intellectuals, she discovers romance and sex, friendship and risk, her world mirrored by the steamy mystery of the French Quarter.
