Review
Okay, I can just imagine the thoughts floating through your mind right now. But you can just pull your mind out of the gutter because I Was Morgan Fairchild's Love Slave probably isn't what you think. In spite, even, of what the cover of the book shows.
This is the story of the author's encounter in the early 70s with Morgan Fairchild. (Yes, the actress...is there another?) While hitchhiking through California, Stanley is picked up by none other than the aforementioned actress who then, unbelievably but necessarily, invites him to stay at her place for a few days until he returns home to Colorado. During his stay with Morgan, Stanley goes through nearly every human emotion as he battles aspects of himself for control. That Stanley worships and desires the fair Morgan is never in doubt. He vascillates, however, between feeling she's toying with him (often with co-conspirators) or she pities him or she feels reciprocally or whatever. Don't feel, though, that this is a totally serious account. Mr. Harris clarly makes light of the entire "affair" and succeeds admirably. You're not going to roll on the floor laughing while reading this (it'd make it difficult to read then), but you'll definitely be amused and occasionally guffaw.
Mr. Harris assures us this is a fictional account, but he writes so convincingly that I was left in doubt at every turn. In the end, it's clearly left to the reader as to whether or not this is a fictionalized account of something which occurred or is completely made up. Either way, it's a charming book. -- edsbookreview
Product Description
From the first moment Stanley lays eyes on Morgan Fairchild, he falls obsessively in love with her. In the days that follow, Stanley plots and schemes to win Morgan's love. Having already learned how to dodge the best of seductions by the male wolves of the movie industry, Morgan seems hardly to notice Stanley's desperate attempts at romance. When one of Morgan's friends, a stunningly beautiful female model from New York, drops in for an overnight stay, Stanley is reduced to being a mere plaything for the two worldly vixens. Yet Stanley has one quality that the world wise Morgan Fairchild is ill equipped to deal with. In his naive state of inexperience, Stanley doesn't know how to play games, and his emotions are to him the real thing. Before the game is over, what Stanley doesn't know is his best bet for winning the prize that he comically determines is worth risking even his soul.
