Book Description Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A Trade Paperback in Near Fine condition. A solid binding with clean, unmarked pages. Moderate cover wear. Stated First Edition. "A brilliantly observed, hilarious and poignant social satire. When Emily Brix and Clara Edward Tilman, two young women from Tula Springs, Louisiana, arrive in New York City in 1971, they carry with them all the youthful expectancy of a bright future filled with passion and accomplishment. Emily, fresh out of Smith and eager to begin an acting career, takes a middling job in a film production company - the first in a series of compromises that presage her yielding to a passionless marriage , negotiated as coolly as a contract. Clara, more impulsive, with vague aspirations to a career in modelling, finds herself embroiled in a reckless affair with a much older man, and even more surprisingly, stumbles into unexpected and sudden celebrity.
