Miss Undines Living Room by James Wilcox
A brilliantly observed, hilarious and poignant social satire. Wilcoxs Tula Springs novels (there are six and characters overlap) have the narrative litheness of an Armistead Maupin and the piercing tragi-comic insights of Edith Wharton.Praise for Wilcox:
‘Like Anne Tyler, Wilcox writes with a compassion best expressed in the willingness to laugh at his characters’ foibles’
New York Newsday
‘Mr Wilcox has real comic genius.’
Ann Tyler
‘Wilcox conveys the paradoxical sense that human life may be random and absurd but that to capture that absurdity exactly in just the right words is to conquer it.’
Mirabella
James Wilcox’s stories have appeared in the New Yorker, Avenue and Louisiana Literature. He is the author of five other novels, Modern Baptists, North Gladiola, Polite Sex, Sort of Rich and Guest of a Sinner. He is a graduate of Yale University and a recipient of a Guggenheim fellowship.
