Patti Davis’s New Literary Frontier
A lesbian novel.
Will Patti Davis’s rebellious phase ever end? She’s married her yoga instructor, copped to getting high, lived with a member of the Eagles, and posed for Playboy. But Ronald Reagan’s daughter still isn’t done challenging family values. Sources report that the author of a novel about Nicaragua and two memoirs about her family has begun working on a novel about straight women who have a lesbian affair. A Knopf spokesman confirmed she’s at work on a novel but said, “We do not as a rule characterize the story lines of works in progress.”
