About “Naked Came the Stranger”
Naked Came the Stranger is a 1969 novel that was created as a literary hoax to mock the American literary culture of the time. It was published under the name "Penelope Ashe," but the book was actually written by a group of twenty-four journalists. The project was led by Mike McGrady, a columnist for Newsday. The novel was intended as a satirical commentary on the literary scene and the expectations of the publishing industry. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
