The beloved author of Early Morning Riser brings us eleven
glittering stories of love - friendships formed at the airport bar,
ex-husbands with benefits, mothers of suspiciously sweet teenagers,
ill-advised trysts - in all its forms, both ridiculous and sublime.
The games and rituals performed by Katherine Heiny's characters
range from mischievous to tender. In 'Bridesmaid, Revisited,'
Marilee, suffering from a laundry and life crisis, wears a massive
bridesmaid's dress to work. In 'Twist and Shout,' Ericka's elderly
father mistakes his four-thousand-dollar hearing aid for a cashew
and eats it. In 'Turn Back, Turn Back,' a bedtime story coupled
with a receipt for a Starbucks babyccino reveal a struggling
actor's deception. And in '561,' Charlene pays the true price of
infidelity and is forced to help her husband's ex-wife move out of
the family home. From one of our most celebrated writers, our bard
of waking up in the wrong bed, wearing the wrong shoes, late for
the wrong job, but loved by the right people, Katherine Heiny has
delivered a work of glorious humour and immense kindness.
