Negative Positive
Title: Pretentious literary NY fiction.
Review: If you like literary stories about jewish women in NY City going through crises of middle-age this book is for you. The tabloid stuff and cryptozoology stuff (Prose incorrectly uses the term cryptobiology) are poorly researched and mere window dressing. The meat of the book, if you want to call it that, consists of blow-by-blow metaphors describing the "heroine's" state of mind as she struggles to relate with her teen daughter, reconcile with her loser ex-husband, and quit smoking. The epiphany is baffling and more than a little unsatisfactory.
