Penthouse F takes the form of an inquiry into the suicide, which may or may not be a murder, of a young boy and girl who took up residence in the protagonist/Author's (of the same name, Richard Kalich) apartment in Manhattan. A pointed critical examination of an increasingly voyeuristic generation, Kalich's novel cautions against the delusion that the instantaneousness of electronic media can replace the substantiality of genuine human relationship.
