SAVAGE GRACE oder JET SET GOTHICA
"(Barbara´s son Tony) was not only homosexual but a practicing one. That was a terrible shock to his mother, who fought against it with him, ferociously. She may even have died in one of their fights over it."
"A son killing a mother is Greek tragedy but this is much worse - much much worse. I think that she killed him."
"That´s a real question - who killed who. It was a real dance, a minuet."
"Sylvie was his first girlfriend, you see. He brought her to meet Barbara and Brooks in Paris - brought her home like a kitten bringing its first killed mouse, and laid it a their feet."
"Before they separated, Barbara told Brooks "You know, I could get Tony over his homosexuality, if I just took him to bed."
"I always heard that the mother and son slept together. (...) It certainly was the talk of the East Hampton set."
"She did not say or do anything to resist his assaults."
"His great improvement in prison may be due to relief from the great strain of his relationship with his mother."
