A magnificent novel of betrayal and self-delusion, madness and consuming passions, "I'm Dying Laughing" spans three decades and two continents as it re-creates to chilling effect the political turbulence of the American Left and the clamor and menace of the McCarthy Right. And not since her classic "The Man Who Loved Children" has Christina Stead fashioned two such large and memorable characters as Emily Wilkes and Stephen Howard. Emily, writer of successful pop novels and film scripts, is a woman of enormous but mercurial enthusiasms and a voracious appetite for experience, whose unflagging ebullience masks a darkness that will lead to disaster. . . . Savage, tragic, and mordantly funny, "I'm Dying Laughing" is manifestly the work of one of our great writers.".
