Max in Purgatory
Keyword(s):
Infatuated with his secretary Florence Norton, Eastman completes the first volume of his tell-all autobiography, Enjoyment of Living, a testament to his prodigious erotic energies that leads critics to compare him with sexologist Alfred Kinsey. Trips for Reader’s Digest lead him to Italy, Greece, Norway, and Ireland. Now a vocal anticommunist, Max condemns McCarthy but not the idea behind McCarthyism and joins the editorial board of William Buckley’s National Review. After being diagnosed with cancer, Eliena Krylenko Eastman dies on October 9, 1956, at their Martha’s Vineyard home, leaving Max “in the shadows,” as a mutual friend observed.
