Tender Loving Rage is a novel by American writer Alfred Bester.
Overview
The novel was published posthumously in 1991, four years after Bester's death in 1987. In his 1991 article, "Alfred Bester's Tender Loving Rage", his friend Charles Platt explains that Bester wrote the novel around 1959, using the title Tender Loving Rape. (This article was reprinted in Platt's book Loose Canon [2001].) The book went unsold for many years, until Platt—who had read the manuscript previously, while working at the publisher Avon in 1972—persuaded Bester to allow him to have the book published by a small press. Platt suggested the change of title, and Bester agreed.[citation needed]
