Description:

Mameve Medwed knows the neurotic, crazy-imagination mind of the freelance writer: the mornings spent toiling over first and second and third drafts, with an ear ever tuned toward the creak of the mailbox, only to find yet another batch of returned manuscripts. If this scenario sounds familiar, then you'll probably find comfort from Medwed's new first novel, Mail, an amusing send-up of the writer's life. Our heroine, Katinka O'Toole, is the ex-wife of a Joyce scholar (once her professor at Harvard, naturally) who sends off a steady stream of short stories from her rented Cambridge apartment. She's obsessed not only with the mail; she's in love with the mailman. An entertaining read, and a good gift for the mother who doesn't understand why you don't just meet a nice lawyer and settle down already.
