Published posthumously in 1995, Mrs. Ted Bliss tells the story
of an eighty-two-year-old widow starting life anew after the death
of her husband. As Dorothy Bliss learns to cope with the mundane
rituals of life in a Florida retirement community, she
inadvertently becomes involved with a drug kingpin trying to use
her as a front for his operations. Combining a comic plot with a
deep concern for character, Elkin ends his career with a vivid
portrait of a woman overcoming loss, a woman who is both
recognizable and as unique as Elkin's other famous characters.
