Elinor Lipman: Family Man
May 8 2010 3:00 pm
Oh wow!!! We're big fans of Elinor Lipman, so we're thrilled to have her coming to our store for her tour for the paperback release of her latest novel, The Family Man.
Her humorous and heartfelt social satire makes me think that she'll be a hoot in real life-- I can't wait to meet her!
Here's what Entertainment Weekly wrote about The Family Man:
"In The Family Man, a sparkling, sprightly comedy—Elinor Lipman's 10th—dapper Manhattan attorney Henry Archer gets the shock of his life when he realizes the receptionist he's just tipped is none other than his stepdaughter, Thalia, whom he hasn't seen in 25 years. Before long, Thalia's back in his life (ensconced in his maisonette apartment, in fact), and Henry's got his hands full with her, his endlessly chatty ex-wife Denise, a new lover, and the countless others who wander in and out of his elegant Upper West Side brownstone. As always, the pleasure of a Lipman book is not so much the wispy plot but the original, funny, achingly human characters. Grade: A"
That sounds like one heck of a summer read to me.
Join us for an afternoon with Elinor Lipman-- reading, answering questions, signing books, and partaking of delightful refreshments. You'll be glad you did!
