Him Her Him Again The End of Him [Paperback]

Patricia Marx is one of the finest comic writers of her time, as readers ofThe New Yorkerand fans ofSaturday Night Livealready know. Her fiction debut is an endlessly entertaining comic novel about one woman’s romantic fixation on her first boyfriend.

And keep in mind I didn't write this blurb as a favor to Patty. I did it for you. So you'd be able to pick out the funniest book in the store and take it home and laugh your head off.
