2⭐️ My first guess was that Mrs. Fitzgibbons is blessed with the reversal of menopause, which I thought would be a fun set up for the story. I enjoyed the first quarter of the book, which I found funny and amusing. However, the consistent lunacy and obscenity bored me eventually. Mrs. Fitzgibbons simply has a manic disorder. All hell breaks loose, and everyone but the sycophants suffers. 👇🏻

Gillian Anderson would be perfect as Mrs. Fitzgibbons

Got me at first sentence 🤣

It‘s been many years since I read this book, but it has remained a favorite. A rare funny piece of serious literature. Kennedy‘s Francis Fitzgibbons is essentially another Kennedy‘s Ignatius J Reilly. A comedy of manners without the manners.

@MicheleinPhilly , you spoiled me with extras!! More NYRBs! These all look fantastic and I‘m over the moon. 😍😍

Thank you so much, my friend. 😘😘

NYRB sale purchases arrived...in other words, so much for a productive long weekend. #bookmail #somethingpretty #riotgrams
