About the Book

Take one unabashedly neurotic American girl and put her in the dusty world of post-graduate Cambridge, where she is the only virgin on campus. Introduce her to Eugene Obello: philosopher, narcissist and cad; recipient of a grant to pursue Ego Studies. The result? The kind of twisted, compulsive, all-consuming passion that will endure separation, marriage (his), parenthood (his), and countless affairs (all his).

Her friends loathehim. Why can't she drop him? Even moving back home to Philadelphia doesn't help; nor landing a script-writing job in New York, on the hit sketch-comedy programme Taped But Proud.

Coincidentally, Eugene also moves to New York, to teach a seminar entitled 'Towards a Philosophy of the Number Two'. Cue more lusting and longing, hoping and waiting. Until a spectacular event changes everything . . .

Review :
"As funny as Kingsley Amis and Nora Ephron, yet wholly original, that Patricia Marx is a crackerjack (lady) writer. Way more talented than Gummo!"

-- David Rakoff, author of "Don't Get Too Comfortable"

"I laughed at its audacity, and cried that I didn't write it."

-- Steve Martin, author of "Shopgirl"

"If you're like me, you read a blurb and think, Oh, I didn't know they were friends. But I hardly know Patty -- we had dinner once (with other people, and all she had was a Diet Coke). So you can believe me when I say: This may be the funniest book I've ever read. The funniest. Ever. 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."

-- Melissa Bank, author of "The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing"

"Laugh-aloud funny, fierce, witty, incisive, well-written, engaging, and intelligent. A wonderful book."

-- Roz Chast, "New Yorker" cartoonist and author of "The Party, After You Left"

"Patricia Marx is a wonderfully funny writer."

-- Ian Frazier, author of "Gone to New York"

"Patricia Marx's dazzling book is painfully hilarious, and at the same time hilariously painful, and, for that matter, flat-out hilarious. Frankly, I've never enjoyed a bad relationship this much."

-- Susan Orlean, author of "My Kind of Place"

"Patty Marx is a complete original, with a dry, observant wit, a feeling for descriptive detail, and a cool kind of warmth, all entirely her own. Her tale of love sort of found and sort of lost in Cambridge and Manhattan will make any reader laugh hard and think harder."

-- Adam Gopnik, author of "Through the Children's Gate" and "Paris to the Moon"

"Patricia Marx is a wonderfully funny writer."

-- Ian Frazier, author of "Gone to New York"
