Looking for Mr. Goodbar

Set against the backdrop of 1970s New York, 'Looking for Mr. Goodbar' tells the story of Theresa Dunn, a young Irish Catholic schoolteacher who leads a double life—devoted educator by day, restless seeker of risky sexual encounters by night.

Haunted by childhood trauma and societal expectations, Theresa's journey reflects the era's shifting sexual mores and the dangers lurking beneath the surface of liberation.

The novel, inspired by the real-life murder of Roseann Quinn, is a psychological study of personal agency, vulnerability, and the darker consequences of the sexual revolution.

It became a #1 New York Times bestseller and a cultural touchstone for its unflinching portrayal of a woman's search for identity and connection in a changing world.
