Mimi

A whirlwind Manhattan romance like you've never read before from the Booker Prize nominated author of Ducks, Newburyport.

It's Christmas Eve in Manhattan. An eminent plastic surgeon slips on the ice, lands on his butt, and sprains his ankle. So far, so good. A woman such as he's never known yanks him to his feet and conjures the miracle of a taxi.

Harrison recuperates with Franz Schubert, Bette Davis, and a foundling cat. Then it's back to rhinoplasties, liposuction, and the peccadilloes of his obnoxious colleagues. It is only when he collides again with that strangely helpful woman that things take a wild and revolutionary turn.

Sparkling, polemical, irreverent, slippery, and sexy, Mimi is a love story, a call to arms, and Lucy Ellmann's most tender and dazzling book. It's also the feminist novel of the century. (So far.)

Praise for Lucy Ellmann:

“Dot in the Universe reads like [Larry] David, Tracey Ullman and Will Self channeling Jonathan Swift; by turns scathing, self-pitying and operatic, the novel manages to be manic, nutty and Rabelaisian all at the same time . . . [A] thoroughly unstoppable voice.” —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

“[A] filthy, hilarious, and absolutely furious little novel . . . Strange and fascinating.”—Entertainment Weekly on Doctors & Nurses
