Description
This collection of twelve witty stories explores marriage, fame and female friendship through razor-sharp, glittering portraits of contemporary life. Curtis Sittenfeld creates characters so real they seem like old friends. In “The Patron Saints of Middle Age,” a woman visits two friends she has not seen since her divorce. In “A for Alone,” a married artist begins a project intended to disprove the so-called Mike Pence Rule, which suggests that women and men cannot spend time alone together without lusting after each other. In “Lost but Not Forgotten,” readers of Prep gain a new perspective on Lee Fiora decades later, when she attends an awkward school reunion. Witty, confronting and full of tenderness, these stories peel back layer after layer of our inner lives and showcase Sittenfeld’s distinctive voice.
