The National Book Award-winning novel by the writer whom Fran
Lebowitz called "the real F. Scott Fitzgerald"
Joe Chapin led a storybook life. A successful small-town lawyer
with a beautiful wife, two over-achieving children, and aspirations
to be president, he seemed to have it all. But as his daughter
looks back on his life, a different man emerges: one in conflict
with his ambitious and shrewish wife, terrified that the misdeeds
of his children will dash his political dreams, and in love with a
model half his age. With black wit and penetrating insight, "Ten
North Frederick" stands with Richard Yates' "Revolutionary Road,"
Evan S. Connell's "Mr. Bridge" and "Mrs. Bridge," the stories of
John Cheever, and "Mad Men" as a brilliant portrait of the personal
and political hypocrisy of mid-century America.
