Book Overview From the author of Confessions of the Fox comes a novel in which a yenta on her deathbed gives an unrepentant account of all her failures...
"A rant of comedic genius . . . [Jordy Rosenberg] writes with an enchanting command of language and satire."--Melissa Broder, The New York Times Book Review
In a cluttered rent-controlled apartment in the middle of Manhattan, Barbara Rosenberg is terminally ill, high on opioids, and writing the story of her life. She has opinions about her smutty late husband, her career as the receptionist for a disreputable plastic surgeon, her glory days as an accomplished jazzerciser, and her failed aspirations to be a film noir actress. But what she really wants to talk about are unhinged thoughts on gender, Karl Marx, Zionism, and her two great disappointing loves: an estranged trans son and a long-lost best friend whose betrayal haunts Barbara still. As she descends further into delirium and illness, Barbara finds herself in a nightmare from which she cannot escape, and her circumstances put her on a crash course with these intimates--or are they avenging nemeses?--once again.
Part novel, part someone's mother's unauthorized memoir--all diatribe, gutter schtick, and deranged manifesto, Night Night Fawn is a ferociously candid account of intergenerational conflict.
