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
