Naked Came the Stranger , by Penelope Ashe
“Penelope Ashe” was a pseudonym. The author was actually a group of authors, each of whom wrote different chapters. From the Wikipedia entry on the book:
Though credited to “Penelope Ashe”, it was written by a group of twenty-four journalists led by Newsday columnist Mike McGrady .
McGrady’s intention was to write a book that was both deliberately terrible and contained a lot of descriptions of sex, to illustrate the point that popular American literary culture had become mindlessly vulgar. The book fulfilled the authors’ expectations and became a bestseller in 1969. Later that year, they revealed the hoax, spurring the book’s popularity.
