Lena Finkle's Magic Barrel by Anya Ulinich
*ANew York TimesNotable Book*"Funny, painful, outrageous . . . Anya Ulinich is the David Sedaris of Russian-American cartoonists."
-Gary Shteyngart
Anya Ulinich turns her sharp eye toward the strange, often unmooring world of "grown-up" dating in this darkly comic graphic novel. After her fifteen-year marriage ends, Lena Finkle gets an eye-opening education in love, sex, and loss when she embarks on a string of online dates, all while raising her two teenage daughters. The Vampire of Bensonhurst, the Orphan, Disaster Man, and the Diamond Psychiatrist are just a few of the unforgettable characters she meets along the way. Evoking Louis C. K.'s humor and Amy Winehouse's longing and anguish, and paying homage to Malamud and Chekhov, Lena Finkle's Magic Barrel is a funny and moving story, beautifully told.
Anya Ulinich is the author of Petropolis, a critically praised novel that won the Goldberg Award, was chosen a best book of the year by The Christian Science Monitor and The Village Voice, and has been translated into ten languages. She has taught at New York University and Gotham Writers' Workshop, and her tales and articles have appeared in The New York Times, Newsweek, n+1, and Zoetrope: All-Story. She is a resident of Brooklyn, New York.
