Description
New York, NY: Random House (2016)
Paperback.
As new in paperback.
A sharp, funny, and delightfully unhinged collection of stories set in the dark world of domesticity.
Meet the women of
American Housewife
. They wear lipstick, pearls, and sunscreen, even when it’s cloudy. They casserole. They pinwheel. They pump the salad spinner like it’s a CPR dummy. And then they kill a party crasher, carefully stepping around the body to pull cookies out of the oven. These twelve irresistible stories take us from a haunted prewar Manhattan apartment building to the set of a rigged reality television show, from the unique initiation ritual of a book club to the getaway car of a pageant princess on the lam, from the gallery opening of a tinfoil artist to the fitting room of a legendary lingerie shop. Vicious, fresh, and nutty as a poisoned Goo Goo Cluster,
American Housewife
is an uproarious, pointed commentary on womanhood.
HELEN ELLIS
is the author of
Southern Lady Code
and
Eating the Cheshire Cat
. Raised in Alabama, she lives with her husband in New York City. You can find her on Twitter @WhatIDoAllDay and Instagram @American Housewife.
