Its the sixties: a time of hippies, draft dodging, and the new sexual revolution. Its a witty look at personal relationships and insecurities: a mix of Erma Bombeck and Erica Jong. Dont let the title and cover notes fool you; its a symbolic cake that doesnt appear until the end. But, meanwhile, enjoy the ride.
