Poet and writer Kate Camp returns for the latest instalment of Kate's Klassics. This week she reviews Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann. The American writer's debut book became the biggest selling novel of 1966, the year of its release. A film followed the next year with plot changes and a tense shooting schedule which saw Judy Garland fired from the cast over her drinking. To date, it's sold more than 31 million copies worldwide.
