comment
Gloria Random is seventeen, gorgeous, intelligent, turned on, sexually experienced and rebellious. An aspiring author and screenwriter, she lives in Belle Woods, Michigan, an upper-middle-class Stepford Smiler suburb, with her rich, image-conscious mother Irene and colorless dad Fred (mostly out of the picture). Her saving graces are her neighbor John, the 19-year-old gay son of a famous psychiatrist, and her boyfriend Delano, editor of the local underground newspaper. When Gloria was twelve, her uncle revealed that she is illegitimate, the product of Irene's affair with a university professor who is a Communist and a Polish Jew. Horrors!!! Gloria was enchanted and now wants to meet her father. In the summer of 1969, things boil over. Irene refuses to allow Gloria to go to Woodstock. John receives his draft notice — a death sentence in those Vietnam War days. He's been planning escape for some time, and Gloria is along for the ride. Learning that her father's name is Glyczwycz, pronounced Glizwitch, she reverses it and names herself Witch Gliz, christens John "Roy", and embarks with him on a trip to New York and other places.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The third and last novel written by James Leo Herlihy (Midnight Cowboy) and his last published work, it was called "the first major work of fiction of the Aquarian Age". It came out in April 1971.

Bastard Angst: Inverted. Gloria is delighted. Her nominal dad Fred Random is an ineffectual weakling who married Irene for her considerable independent wealth — "His self-satisfied little tail must have wagged all the way up the aisle" — while Irene just wanted to avoid the social gaffe of having a child out of wedlock. Her real father sounds (and is) much more interesting.
