«Una donna scomoda» is the novel by Dominick Dunne, published by TEA in paperback (479 pages, in Italian).
Set in Los Angeles, it follows Jules and Pauline Mendelson, a wealthy couple who appear to lead a tranquil life after twenty-three years together. The sudden death of Hector Paradiso, a close friend of Pauline, triggers a chain of events that expose hypocrisy, self-serving friendships and the dark perversions hidden behind the money and power of high society.
The cover subtitle, «Una moglie e un'amante: chi è la donna scomoda?», raises the central question about the identity of the uncomfortable woman.
Dominick John Dunne was an American writer, investigative journalist, and producer. He began his career in film and television as a producer of the pioneering gay film The Boys in the Band (1970) and as the producer of the drama film The Panic in Needle Park (1971). He turned to writing in the early 1970s. After the 1982 murder of his daughter Dominique, an actress who had her breakthrough role in the film Poltergeist that year, he began to write about the interaction of wealth and high society with the judicial system. Dunne was a frequent contributor to Vanity Fair, and, beginning in the 1980s, often appeared on television discussing crime.
