Candy (novel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Candy is a 1958 novel written by Maxwell Kenton (pseudonym of Terry Southern) in collaboration with Mason Hoffenberg published by Olympia Press. It was later published in North America by Putnam under the authors' own names. The story owes its plotline to Voltaire's Candide.
In 2006, Playboy Magazine listed Candy among the "25 Sexiest Novels Ever Written", and described the story as a "young heroine's picaresque travels, a kind of sexual pinball machine that lights up academia, gardeners, the medical profession, mystics and bohemians."[1]
The novel was made into a film by Christian Marquand in 1968 as Candy.
