Love Warps the Mind a Little - Softcover

Rarely have I laughed so often while reading a book or, coming to the end, cried so hard. Love Warps the Mind a Little is a masterpiece of the genre that writers call the 'funny-sad novel, ' where humor both defies and gives shape to grief. It is rich entertainment, sheer lunacy, moonshine for the wounded heart. --Julia Glass, author of I See You Everywhere

Ever since Lafayette Proulx quit his day job, left his wife, hauled his dog and his portable typewriter across town and moved in with his mistress, Judi Dubey, with the intention of becoming the Great American novelist, his life has been a sordid mess. He can put up with the futile and interminable marriage counselling and Judy's exotically dysfunctional white-trash family - even when they start killing each other - but the steady stream of vicious rejection slips from literary magazines is beginning to wear him down. But when Judi gets sick, Laf's life gets serious: the knockabout farce becomes a dark but redemptive tragedy.
