Circe is a successful novelist who writes under the pen name of \u201cPolly Madison\u201d and her books, according to some people, \u201care destroying the fabric of American society, telling teenage girls that they can get pregnant if they&#8217;re not careful and so on\u201d. Or, according to a certain television evangelist mentioned in the book, \u201cSatan was making a four-pronged attack on the American family with communism, drugs, rock and roll, and books by Satan&#8217;s sister, who was Polly Madison\u201d. On the other side, it would be enough to say that Linhares came to prominence during, as she puts it, \u201cthe socially turbulent &#8220;take-it-to-the-streets&#8221; days of feminism, underground comics, and poetic reverie in Northern California\u201d.
