In San Francisco there is a run-down hostelry where J. Spenser Blight, a baloon-shaped nightclerk presides. He whiles away the long night hours reading 25 cent paperback erotic epics; cutting up old magazines, and reminiscing about his imposibly beautiful and equally currupt wife, Katy. He dwells on Katy’s career as a caterer to the sex-fantacies of customers Blight brings home to her. Katy is arrested and Blight must rescue her in the manner of the Marx Bros. The Nightclerk by Stephen Schneck was winner of the Formentor Novel Prize.
