Bad Neighbors: 'Fatal Attraction' in the suburbs
10 Jan 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I first ran across this book at the public library, and immmediately was caught under it's wicked spell. David and Anita Jamison seem like the happily married couple, with two daughters, but underneath the surface, Anita is having an affair with a man at work, and Dave is unemployed, and feels emasculated by Anita going back to work. Enter Sue Heffernan, the new neighbor. She's smart, perky, a June Cleaver type (emphasize the word 'cleaver'..trust me)..who seems to turn David's life around, in more ways than one. I won't give too much away, but Kathrine Beck's darkly comic tale will keep you mesmerized with sharp dialogue, situations that seem very real (Anita and David's separation, her affair with Frank), and an antagonist in Sue you actually root for, even though she makes Glenn Close into a saint. A definite must read.
Here Goes Suburbia
30 April 1997
Format:Hardcover
This is a most marvellous putdown of modern suburbia, of the baby-boomer generation, and the way children are brought up today. On a bookshelf, it should stand right next to the "Stepford Wives" as an explanation of the next generation
