LILITH is a powerfully drawn portrait of innocence corrupted by evil-an evil so brilliant, so beautiful, so imaginatively conceived that even its violence and amorality have a fantastic splendor of their own. This is the evil of Lilith, a wildly deranged young woman who creates for herself a strange paradise of fantasy, poetry, and passion which she inhabits in preference to the real world. Her world has its own language, its own philosophy, its own music and art, all exquisitely constructed and richly sensual in their design. And it has its own religion, a religion which demands an insidious and dreadful form of human sacrifice.
First published in 1961, LILITH instantly became a classic of American literature, with over one million copies in print and a 1964 film adaptation of the same name starring Warren Beatty and Jean Seberg.

You’ll tell Greta to make up the schedule?” “Yes.” “I’d keep this away from the patients until Dr. Lavrier tells me what to say. Some of the Field House people may have seen the commotion this morning, but I don’t think any of them actually know. Just be noncommittal if they ask.” “Yes.” I leave Hillcrest and walk back to the Lodge with
it pretty?” “Yes.” I put my hands lightly on her shoulders and we looked into each other’s eyes for a moment before I kissed her—timidly at first, and then with considerable passion, for she was the first girl I had ever kissed, and there was in my embrace many years of loneliness and the longing of boyish fantasies. It was in this way that Laura and I became sweethearts. We “went together” throughout that and my final year of high school; and although it gave to both of us much comfort,
everyman’s Eden and the traveler wearied by sad experience can find peace and joy. Such a world awaits through the writings of J. R.

fulfillment? Perhaps as the sudden illumination and warming of cold, sealed cellars of the spirit by the delightful opening of doors. I clutched a handful of leaves from a privet hedge as I passed and lifted them to my nostrils, blowing them from my hand in a little glittering shower of green. The streets and houses of the village where I had been born seemed to possess, as I felt myself to possess, a new dimension. The town seemed more beautiful to me, for I was to serve it and to see it whole.
perceptions seem finer and more penetrating, and not only my actual physical perceptions, but that instantaneous interpretation of the thing perceived which is so large a part of the total act of perception. It is something like the experience of going outdoors after a rain and seeing the world anew, freshly and vividly. All the stones are washed clean, the leaves glitter, even the air has a bright and almost bitter clarity; and with this there comes a quite original and exciting sense of the
