GLORIA VANDERBILT, iconic New Yorker, has gone from poor little rich girl to dirty old lady. Her novel, "Obsession: An Erotic Tale," out in June from Ecco books, has found its way into my hot, little hands, where it's burning a hole. Packed with four-letter words I don't think my mother knows, as well as innovative tips for employing garden vegetables, there's not much I can print. It's Al Goldstein, filtered through the exclusive Miss Porter's School. - Andrea Peyser, NY Post
