Be it a Marilyn More than any other of Irving Wallaces books, The Fan Club, published in 1974, has excited interest from actresses and film directors. Yet because of its controversial subject matter, it has still not yet been made into a movie. Four American men meet in a bar and, over drinks, fantasize what it would be life to make love to Americas greatest sex symbol. Be it a Marilyn Monroe or a Madonna, the archetype of the unattainable sex goddess is eternal. But, instead of letting their fantasies rest, the men concoct a plan: to kidnap actresss Sharon Fields, and rape her. They enact the plan, and brutalize her mercilessly. Fields has no weapons to free herself but her wits and her talent as an actress. With them, with them, she proves that sex symbols need not be stupid pieces of flesh, but can be brilliant, brave women. Fields outwits each man on his own terms and frees herself, taking a satisfying, and much-deserved revenge on each of her abductors; most shockingly on the groups most psychopathic monster. As an eternal subject, written by Wallace at his height as a page-turning storyteller, The Fan Club reads as a modern novel today, three decades after it was written.
