“Come In Spinner was an immediate sensation when it was first published in 1951. Its action revolving largely around the Hotel South Pacific where the girls and the "occupying" American troops meet in the vestibule, where upstairs in the Marie Antionette beauty salon the attendants Deb, Guinea and Claire, each with her own complicated romantic entanglement, work long hours to disguise the shortcomings of their rich, fat clientele, Come In Spinner is sharply observant of the new era ushered in by World War II. From languid, wealthy Palm Beach to the brothels of Kings Cross, Come In Spinner paints a fascinating, lively portrait of the relationships between men and women, and the desperate search for the good times.to disguise the shortcomings of their rich, fat clientele, Come In Spinner is sharply observant of the new era ushered in by World War II.
