A hilarious--and delightfully profane--novel about the daily
frustrations of family life
Based on his widely read columns for "The New Yorker," Ian
Frazier's uproarious first novel, "The Cursing Mommy's Book of
Days," centers on a profoundly memorable character, sprung from an
impressively fertile imagination. Structured as a daybook of sorts,
the book follows the Cursing Mommy--beleaguered wife of Larry and
mother of two young boys--as she offers tips on how to do various
tasks around the home, only to end up on the ground, cursing,
surrounded by broken glass. Her voice is somewhere between Phyllis
Diller's and Sylvia Plath's: a hilariously desperate housewife with
a taste for swearing and large glasses of red wine, who speaks to
the frustrations of everyday life.
In "The Cursing Mommy's Book of Days," Frazier colors his fiction
with grace and aplomb, as well as an extra helping of his trademark
wicked wit. The Cursing Mommy's failures and weaknesses are our
own--and Frazier gives them a loving, satirical spin that is
uniquely his own.
