In the meantime, for summer reading I can recommend nothing funnier than American Housewife: Stories by Helen Ellis. Ellis is a southern transplant to New York City who, when her writing career stalled after the publication of a novel some fifteen years ago, became a housewife/ professional poker player. Beginning with "The Wainscoting War," a tale of decorative mayhem in an upper east Side co-op, to "Dumpster Diving With The Stars," a reality show run amok in the Hudson Valley's antiques alley, and ending with a woman who rescues pre-pubescent beauty contestants in "Pageant Protection," the fun never abates. Published by Doubleday & Company: 2016.
