Amazon.com Review
Kraven Images is a slapstick romp that follows the affairs and conquests of Nicholas Marcus Kraven, a Jewish Englishman and lecturer at Mosholu College in New York City. With his amorous sights set on--among others--his enemy's girlfriend Naomi (for whose poetry he professes enough enthusiasm to warrant a private conference on his bed), his married upstairs neighbor, Stella, and Stella's sister, Candida (alias Candy Peaches), who is stripping her way through graduate school, Kraven's social life is full, to say the least. When Stella's husband begins production of the Bardic Follies, a striptease rendition of Shakespeare starring Ms. Peaches, Nicholas finds himself entangled in a web of sexual liaisons and pillow-talk commitments from which escape seems impossible.
