In Wicked Women, a 1997 New York Times Notable Book of Year and her
most celebrated collection of stories ever, critically acclaimed
Fay Weldon brings her bracing wit to bear on men, love, therapy,
marriage, parenting, and the myriad self-deceptions and half-truths
that oil the wheels of "civilized behavior".
In these twenty madcap tales we enter Fay Weldon's world,
peopled with therapists who blithely destroy marriages and Family
ties, husbands and lovers whose greatest cruelty is their
indifference, and clever women navigating the perils and pitfalls
of domesticity. In lucid and finely honed prose, Fay Weldon serves
up our greatest denials and most imprudent compromises. Her wicked
humor and seasoned wisdom are as evident here as always -- and
tempered by great compassion for the foibles of the human
heart.
