Amo

Alice Denham's AMO is an amazing carnival of juicy sex, humor and horror, and lofty planetary ideals. The title character is a liberated alien who visits Earth to teach spaced-out sex and equality. She confronts Mal the homicidal revolutionary, Benno the hilarious Mafioso, Whit the insane psychoanalyst, and Pelf the nudie publisher. First she must fight off a nutcase who is choking her to death. Ms. Magazine said, "Denham writes better about sex than anyone." Newsweek called AMO "Tough and witty." Library Journal called its heroine "a superwoman in this super saga" and called AMO "a women's liberation classic." A New York Press feature story/interview described it this way: "The cult novel, AMO, bubbles with pop art fantasy. A work ripe for resurrection." First published in 1974 by Coward, McCann & Geoghegan, AMO became a cult favorite soon after it appeared. This edition includes the entire original text.
