NOW IN PAPERBACK - PEN/FAULKNER AWARD WINNER
From the acclaimed author of The Epicure's Lament, a scintillating novel of secrets, love, and legacy in the New York art world.
"Mischievous...funny, astute.... As unexpectedly generous as it is entertaining.... Christensen is a witty observer of the art universe." —The New York Times
"Christensen's writing is clear-eyed, muscular, bitingly funny, and supremely caustic about the niceities of social relations, contemporary American culture, and sexual politics. "
— O, The Oprah Magazine
"These characteres are wonderfully developed and break the stereotype of the aging female protagonist. Christensen...boldly has raised the bar."
— USA Today
"Nimble, witty and discerning, Kate Christensen is single-handedly reinvigorating the comedy of manners with her smart and disemboweling novels of misanthropes, cultural and aesthetic divides, private angst, social ambition and appetites run amok."
— Chicago Tribune
