West Ways

Westways is the fifth in American sculptor Rita McBride's continuing Ways series of collaborative novels—this time with writer and rock climber Matthew Licht. We follow Mae West from her Brooklyn childhood through her adventures with W.C. Fields to a Sapphic encounter with Leni Riefenstahl on a safari in the 1970s, picking up a fighter pilot, Salvador Dalí and Billy Wilder for the ride.
