O tym produkcie

Product Information

Elements of Style , the Pulitzer Prize--winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein's first novel, is a scathing comedy about New York's high society facing the post--9/11 world. Francesca Weissman, an Upper East Side pediatrician rated number one by Manhattan magazine, floats on the fringes of the upper strata of privilege and aspiration. Through her bemused eyes we meet the thoroughbred socialite Samantha Acton; relentless social climber Judy Tremont; Barry Santorini, an Oscar-winning moviemaker accustomed to having his way; his supermarket heiress wife, Clarice; and more, tossed together in a frothy stew of outrageous conspicuous consumption and adulterous affairs that play out on Page Six. But when Wasserstein's madcap tour of the social lives and mores of twenty-first-century Manhattan veers into tragedy, we finally see the true cost of her characters' choices, and the beating heart of this dazzling novel.

Reviews

"This beautiful little pink number with its stylish ribbon is just great. It is 'chick lit' fiction to end all such; only in Wendy's case, there is more 'lit' to it than in others of the same genre. . . . I'd say the book has 'best seller' written all over it. . . . It would be a triumph, though bittersweet, if "Elements of Style" hits the top of the lists. It deserves it." --Liz Smith "Readers looking for an arch and sexy high-society fantasy with edge will be perfectly satisfied with this tart tale of excess and retribution in the city." --"Booklist" "Pure Wendy! Wendy Wasserstein effortlessly makes the leap from stage to page with a novel that is loving, compassionate, flat-out funny. Wendy loved the word 'scintillating' which is the best way to describe her stunning "Elements of Style."" --John Guare "Bold, nimble and funny to its fingertips, "Elements of Style" is a delight, a triumph. A book that no self-respecting New Yorker should be without. Those cursed with the hell of multiple residences will self-evidently need several copies--and spares, for house-guests." --Flora Fraser "Wasserstein gets the trappings and tribulations (of friendship and of romance) right, making her depiction of the rich and fab trying to connect with one another witty and entertaining." --"Publishers Weekly" "[Wasserstein does] a good job of simultaneously poking fun at high society and evoking the anxiety of maintaining a perfect image, capturing a world that is at once fascinating, appalling, and amusing. . . . A sensuous read . . . Wasserstein's ironic perspective saves it from being merely decadent. Recommended for popular fiction collections." --"Library Journal", "Wasserstein had the rare ability to be sardonic and compassionate at once . . . [She] demonstrates, with sly grace, a vulnerability that cuts across class lines." --"The New Yorker" "A tart satire . . . Once again, Wasserstein, who will always be remembered as a woman's woman and a New Yorker's New Yorker, proves that humor is the best refuge from life's sorrows." --"Vogue" "Wasserstein delivers with seductive intimacy . . . Beguiling . . . Amusing and telling with just the right touch of melancholy." --Sherryl Connelly, "Daily News" "You can hear the raucous laughter, fell the well-honed satiric bite-and sense the well-guarded private tears-throughout "Elements of Style," [Wasserstein's] first, and sadly, her only novel. . . . Think a modern-day Jane Austen observing the socialites who throw benefits for the New York City Ballet, compare notes on pediatricians and private schools, and visit the ghetto only to attend gala parties that require a cutting-edge installation." --Heidi Weiss, "Chicago Sun-Times" "Her legacy is a cautionary truth, offered with a signature wit that we will miss for a long time to come." --Julia Glass, "More" "Quintessential Wendy." --"Entertainment Weekly" "Wasserstein's book has a wit and a heart." --Jenny Shank, "Rocky Mountain News ""Wendy Wasserstein's smart, funny sensibility bubbles up on almost every page of her first and last novel . . . Observant and sharp . . . Full of the ironic humor she brought to the stage . . . Vividly drawn . . . [Wasserstein's] one and only novel serves as a poignant reminder of a talented, astute, warm-hearted woman gone too soon." --Christine Dolen, "The MiamiHerald" "With her usual keen ear, Wasserstein pins [her characters] in the pages like gilded butterflies, brilliantly contrasting a society committed to status and surface glitter with the fragility and impermanence of life. . . . [A] wry, clear-sighted book-a final gift this generous, funny woman has left us." --Marianne Evett, "The Cleveland Plain Dealer" "One can finish this funny, compassionate book with an aching heart." --"Bookpage" "Playwright Wendy Wasserstein's posthumous debut novel showcases all her comic gifts, and unforgettable "Elements of Style."" --"Vanity Fair" "A bright social comedy . . . Sleek, entertaining." --Caryn James, "The New York Times Book Review" "Chick-lit with a chill and a pedigree . . . A blithe, funny feat of escapism and a sobering reminder of the inescapable." --Janet Maslin, "The New York Times " "At the heart of Wasserstein's social critique lies the same intriguing paradox Henry James explored: those with old money, sophistication, and polish are attracted ot the raw energy (the vulgarity even) of society's nakedly aspiring climbers." --Elizabeth Judd, "The Atlantic Monthly" "Wasserstein peppers her dishy humor with piquant and poignant insights, transcending the chick-lit cliches that "Style" flirts with. You would expect no less from such a sharp and generous spirit." --Elysa Gardner, "USA Today" "This beautiful little pink number with its stylish ribbon is just great.
