Hardback. Zustand: Good. The paths of two women on opposite ends of a high-profile sexual abuse scandal set them on a devastating collision course. Part thriller, part Hollywood satire, Lucky Dogs>is a brash, sometimes heartbreaking saga in which trauma and self-preservation converge across decades and continents. This is Helen Schulman's best novel yet.--Jennifer Egan, author of>A Visit from the Goon Squad>and>The Candy House On a sultry summer night in Paris, two women meet in line at an ice cream kiosk on the Ile de la Cit . One is tall, fair, striking, with an indeterminate accent. The other, a troubled American TV star, is hiding her beauty and identity under a shapeless sweatshirt, wearing sunglasses even in the darkness. When leering male tourists hassle the pair, the blonde pulls out a knife and a sisterhood is born. Both women have been victims of male violence, and both are warriors--one trained and calculating, one instinctually ferocious. They each think they know who they are dealing with. But both are very, very wrong. In a story that unfolds with unexpected humor and the pace of a thriller, acclaimed novelist Helen Schulman lays bare what happens to women--no matter how fortunate they may appear to be on the surface--whose lives have been warped by brutality and misogyny. The issues are universal, but the core of the story is intimate: a passionate exploration of love, betrayal, and survival. Lucky Dogs>asks and answers a shattering question: How could one woman so utterly betray another.…

Hardback. Zustand: Like New. A virtuosic, laugh-out-loud collection of stories that explore the fraught and fantastic nature of human connection--featuring women, men, various couples, and one terribly precocious baby>enmeshed in tangled romances of all shapes and sizes The wide-ranging and inventive stories that make up Helen Schulman's>Fools for Love are funny, sexy, sometimes sad, and always surprising. A single American mother and a French Orthodox rabbi fall in love over poetry, as she helps to dismantle a shuttered bookstore in Paris. A rebellious young woman marries a series of men who are all wrong for her and proceeds to cheat on each of them; her widowed mother finds>her>deceased husband's sex diaries and decides she needs to make up for lost time. And in the title story, a blossoming East Village playwright realizes that her marriage to a brilliant actor is doomed, after watching his performance in an alternative production of Sam Shepard's iconic play. Characters wander in and out of one another's stories--and beds--in these tales of lust and attachment, a rollicking feast of love and loss that is not unlike the experience of life itself. Fools for Love is a vital addition to Schulman's acclaimed body of work--a collection that showcases at every turn what Katie Kitamura has referred to as her sharp observation, buoyant wit, and unfailing empathy.…
