An earlier group-penned novel "Naked Came the Stranger" was published in the late 60s. It was written by a bunch of newspaper journalists as a joke poking fun at other novels of that era. It became a bestseller. Some years after it was published—when I was in my budding adolescence—I discovered it in my parents' library and devoured it although I didn't understand everything in the story. My mother was a bit aghast when she found it in my room.
