The Mistress Contract, published anonymously, is purported to be the true, recorded conversations between a wealthy businessman and his contractual mistress. The document that begins their arrangement is published with the text, and remains, sadly, the most interesting aspect of the book. What follows is a collection of pretentious philosophical blatherings, recollections, and conversations spoken by characters who sound more like automatons than actual people. While the publicity package attempts to categorize this little book as edgy - and too scandalous for the attribution of names - the actual material falls far short. Not recommended.
