Coffee, Tea or Me? The Uninhibited Memoirs of Two… door Trudy Baker
A cultural artifact if ever there was one (the illustrations by Playboy's Bill Wenzel tell the tale), this was first adult book I ever read as a child, my introduction to homosexuality, a black man and a white woman in a sexual position, and marijuana. "They looked so normal!" Published October 1967, this is still known in the air steward trade, and in various way howingly funny.
Trudy and Rachel are airline stewardesses that tell of their many adventures, good and bad! This was a fun book.
Disclaimer: I stopped reading this book well before half-way.
I bought this book in order to read 2 sassy women's notes from a life of being stewardesses. What I found, was that Donald Bain used a small dash of their stories (and changed their names to Rachel and Trudy), a dash of his own personal flight experiences and a large dose of his imagination. Imagination. Yes, you read that right. He used his imagination [as he states, himself, in the start of the book) and stories an "uninhibited memoir" about 2 women. Two women who were used largely for their marketing appeal.
I really do not think this book should be allowed to be listed as a work of non-fiction. I want to read it though, based off the scathing reviews of how 'controversial' it apparently was when it was released. I'll just have to wait until I can convince my brain that it is not truly a memoir, but a work of fiction that is lightly sprinkled with partially true stories.… (meer)
