Advance reading copy of Uncorrected Proof in paperback. Meg Wolitzer signed & inscribed on title page to bookseller at October 2010 NEIBA book show. Bright, clean & tight, unread, in Fine condition. "When the elliptical new drama teacher at Stellar Plains High School chooses for the school play Lysistrata--the comedy by Aristophanes in which women stop having sex with men in order to end a war--a strange spell seems to be cast over the school. Or, at least, over the women. One by one throughout the high school community, perfectly healthy, normal women and teenage girls turn away from their husbands and boyfriends in the bedroom, for reasons they don't really understand. As the women worry over their loss of passion, and the men become by turns unhappy, offended, and above all, confused, both sides are forced to look at their partners, their shared history, and their sexual selves in a new light." [publisher copy] {"In this fiercely funny, playful, and always tender novel, Meg Wolitzer glories in the drama and the magic of falling in and out of love . . . and bed. THE UNCOUPLING is, happily, a very sexy fable about sexual ennui."--Cathleen Schine. "Wolitzer writes of a spell cast upon a town--but she superbly casts it upon the reader as well. This deftly written tale of bewildered women (and their men) is always surprising and always engaging, both funny and serious at the same time, a wonderful read."--Elizabeth Strout.} "Wolitzer makes it work, thanks to sharp characterizations and acute observations on everything from the digital generation gap to the accommodations made in a long marriage. A risky strategy pays off for a smart author whose work both amuses and hits home."--Kirkus. Pristine paperback ARC w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Quite presentable.…
