One of our country's most acclaimed and beloved entertainers, Steve
Martin is quickly becoming recognized as "a gorgeous writer capable
of being at once melancholy and tart, achingly innocent and
astonishingly ironic" (Elle). A frequent contributor to both The
New Yorker and The New York Times as well as the author of the New
York Times bestseller Pure Drivel, Martin is once again poised to
capture the attention of readers with his debut novella, a
delightful depiction of life and love.
The shopgirl is Mirabelle, a beautiful aspiring artist who pays
the rent by selling gloves at the Beverly Hills Neiman Marcus. She
captures the attention of Ray Porter, a wealthy, lonely
businessman. As Ray and Mirabelle tentatively embark on a
relationship, they both struggle to decipher the language of love
-- with consequences that are both comic and heartbreaking. Filled
with the kind of witty, discerning observations that have brought
Steve Martin incredible critical success, Shopgirl is a work of
disarming tenderness.
