She can be nimble and hilarious. She has a shrewd ear for dialogue and conjures a terrific cast of supporting characters....An acerbic, sneakily touching novel." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"A caustic and ultimately devastating novel." --<i>The New Yorker</i> <p/>"At once biting and sly, hilarious and haunting. A blazingly good debut." --<i>The Philadelphia Inquirer</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Zoë Heller</b> was born in London and lives in New York City.
