Paperback. Condition: Good. A bold, unapologetic first novel about a pregnant mother and wife who abandons her family in search of an identity that is hers alone. "Deliciously, dangerously rogue." -Marcy Dermansky, author of Bad Marie Sonia, a young Brooklyn mother shaken by her unexpected (third) pregnancy, abandons her husband and kids and takes off on a cross-country odyssey in search of an identity separate from her family. She does everything a pregnant woman shouldn't do-engaging in casual sex and smoking weed-as she retraces her past and attempts to reclaim her sidelined career as an artist. Nine Months is a fierce, daring page-turner of a novel-a lacerating response to the culture of mommy blogs, helicopter parents and "parental correctness" as well as an unflinching look at the choices women face when trying to balance art and family. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. From the author of Nine Months, which Marcy Dermansky called deliciously, dangerously rogue, comes a powerful, daring collection about the curious, complicated relationships girls have with their bodies, with other girls, and with boys. A young anorexic girl comes to terms with her changing body while lying in the hospital; Polly deals with her unwelcome puberty whilst falling prey to peer pressure in the suspenseful vein of Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?; Mary's nice-girl attitude is challenged when she begins a job at a psych ward; two best friends discover the power of being beautiful and young; Madeleine discovers menstruation and the power that comes with it; a kinky sexual relationship turns into a dangerous obsession. This eagerly awaited book seethes with alienation, lust, and rage. It's even more daring and accomplished than Bomer's first collection, which Jonathan Franzen described as like being attacked by a rabid dog--and feeling grateful for it. This is some of the rawest and most urgent writing I can remember encountering.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. An Untalented Mr. Ripley, a Dumb American Psycho: A young man combines boundless self-confidence with perpetual failure and ineptitude as he tries to manipulate his way into a better life, preying on women in New York City in the early '90s. Robert Doughten Savile, a.k.a. "Doughty," is the son of a once-wealthy, now hard-up family from Darien, Connecticut. Convinced of his own genius, Doughty lives in a perpetual cloud of delusion, cruising through life on the sheer force of his own sense of entitlement. After a brief, lackluster stint in college, he heads to the New York City of the early '90s to make his fortune. He cons his way from a bed at the YMCA into the posh Soho loft of a middle-aged book editor, even as he pursues a young bartender, and abuses and gaslights both women. He spins elaborate tales about his imaginary high-power job in real estate while, in reality, he passes his days watching comedy specials on VHS, smoking crack in Tompkins Square Park, and engaging in occasional sex work in the restrooms of Grand Central Station. His many failures, however, only serve to sharpen his one true gift: Doughty is a skilled predator, and the damage he inflicts on the women around him is savage and remorseless. …
