SUMMARY:Elinor Lipman celebrates the publication of 2 new books!
DESCRIPTION:From the beloved and acclaimed novelist\, a collection of witty\, moving essays In her two decades of writing\, Elinor Lipman has populated her fictional universe with characters so utterly real that we feel like they’re old friends. Now she shares an even more intimate world with us–her own–in essays that offer a candid\, charming take on modern life. Looking back and forging ahead\, she considers the subjects that matter most: childhood and condiments\, long marriage and solo living\, career and politics.\nHere you’ll find the lighthearted: a celebration of four decades of “All My Children\,” a reflection on being Jewish in heavily Irish-Catholic Lowell on St. Patrick’s Day\, a hilariously unflinching account of her tiptoe into online dating. But she also tackles the serious and profound in eloquent stories of unexpected widowhood and caring for elderly parents that use her struggles to illuminate ours. Whether for Lipman’s longtime readers or those who love the essays of Nora Ephron or Anna Quindlen\, “I Can’t Complain” is a diverting delight. \nTwo sisters recover from widowhood\, divorce\, and Bernie Madoff as unexpected roommates in a Manhattan apartment\nUnexpectedly widowed Gwen-Laura Schmidt is still mourning her husband\, Edwin\, when her older sister Margot invites her to join forces as roommates in Margot’s luxurious Village apartment. For Margot\, divorced amid scandal (hint: her husband was a fertility doctor) and then made Ponzi-poor\, it’s a chance to shake Gwen out of her grief and help make ends meet. To further this effort she enlists a third boarder\, the handsome\, cupcake-baking Anthony.\nAs the three swap money-making schemes and timid Gwen ventures back out into the dating world\, the arrival of Margot’s paroled ex in the efficiency apartment downstairs creates not just complications but the chance for all sorts of unexpected forgiveness. A sister story about love\, loneliness\, and new life in middle age\, this is a cracklingly witty\, deeply sweet novel from one of our finest comic writers.
