Can an overflowing cesspool lead to romance? Can you gain custody
of your servants in divorce court? Can the gossip-ridden,
scandal-prone citizens of the Hamptons ever find true peace? Is
there really a Big Bad Wolf? Can you will yourself to die? And what
happens next? Barbara Goldowsky, long-time resident and keen
observer of the Hamptons scene, provides answers that range from
irresistibly funny to hauntingly serious. Her light-hearted satire
exposes the silly side of glam, glitz, and celebrity worship. But
along with the humor that has amused readers of local publications
for years, this collection of stories includes deeply thoughtful,
poetic tales-meditations on the power of love over death, the
nature of immortality. A lover of Grimm's tales and grand opera,
Goldowsky introduces creatures of fable in what she calls
"revisionist fairy tales for adults" as naturally as she would your
next-door neighbor. The Wolf, Sleeping Beauty, the Princess
Turandot, even the Devil himself, make guest appearances on this
grand tour of an unusual writer's work.
