Julia and Joe Ferraro are living the good life in Manhattan now
that Joe's finally made it; he's the star of a hit TV show and has
just been nominated for a Golden Globe award. After many lean
years, they've got a grand Upper West Side apartment and an
Amagansett beach house, and their two kids go to elite private
schools. Even better, Julia and Joe are still madly in love.
Or so Julia thinks until the fateful evening when she accidentally
hears a voice mail on Joe's phone-- a message left by a
sultry-sounding woman who clearly isn't just a friend. Suddenly
Julia is in a tailspin, compulsively checking Joe's messages,
stalking him in cyberspace, and showing up unannounced on his sets,
wondering all along if she should confront him. Julia's search
forces her to consider the possibility that in the long process of
helping Joe become something, she has become a bit of a "nothing,"
as her daughter once described her to her class on career day. A
big husband-stalking nothing.
When Julia and Joe first met, she was an edgy East Village girl who
wrote music reviews for the Village Voice and threw famed parties
in a gritty downtown loft with her friends. Joe was a shy, awkward
drama student who followed her around like a lovesick spaniel.
After he won her heart, Julia helped Joe evolve into a roguishly
handsome charmer who became increasingly obsessed with his looks
and his career. Julia, meanwhile, settled into doting motherhood
and a new life of comfy clothes and parenting associations.
Now, faced with the looming awards show and the possibility of a
destroyed marriage, Julia embarks on an accelerated
self-improvement routine of Botox, hair extensions, and erotically
charged shrinksessions while dodging the sancti-mommies who lie in
wait for her at her son's preschool each day.
A unique take on the perennially popular issue of women trying not
to lose themselves in matrimony and motherhood, "Outtakes from a
Marriage" is expertly and humorously set against the Manhattan
preschool mafia, the Hollywood machine, and the ticking clock of a
waiting red carpet.
"From the Hardcover edition."
