    [synopsis] => First published by Viking Press in 1971, Hochman's widely-praised novel is about a messy divorce told with a poet's verve From the Viking Press edition: Diana Balooka: "Out of my womanhood is my madness woven." And, for Diana, out of marriage has divorce arisen. With four children, a pet Zulu-Terrier (a rare breed), and a wheeler-dealer love affair to boot. Sandra Hochman's novel is how.

This is a madcap erotic journal of the very separate parts of one woman's life. It is played out with a great personal intensity, a kind of tape-recorded reality that stuns and amazes upon the sound of her own voice; fast forward to Juarez. Mexico; reverse to her flamboyant grandfather's used stage prop farm, or to life In Paris with a hypnotist; hold, for a moment of tormented reflection, on Jason, the non-husband; then slowly spin forward again, frantic and funny, turn, turn, to everything there is a season. Should the tape chance to break. she bends and splices it together, twists it and sets it to reel on a little further.

Miss Hochman pulls and tugs her heroine-a mother, tap dancer writer, and partner in an affair that stretches from an ocean beach to real estate on Seventy- second Street-as she is caught to a bizarre parade of men on the hunt in New York City. Her invention, sensuality, and poetic gifts lend to Walking Papers a totally original novelist's voice belonging, in Diana's words, to "a woman obsessed with essentials." A women to be read.
