Your Turn to Curtsy, My Turn to Bow is a 1958 novel from William Goldman.
Background
Goldman wrote the book after a 50 week break following his first novel and finished it in seven days.[1] (Other accounts say ten.[2]
Goldman says he was inspired by reading a story by Harold Brodkey in the New Yorker called "First Love" and feeling he could write a better love story.[3]
The book was not widely reviewed when it came out but enjoyed more than fourteen publications in paperback since it came out. Goldman:
Doubleday published it because they thought I might make some money for them someday, but the book found a certain cult. It's sold a lot of copies and it's very popular with the kids in the high schools and colleges. It's a very strange thing.[4]
Adaptation
A film version was announced in 1964 but was never made.[5]
