Description

In language that is "rich, musical and playful, like that of a Joyce who grew up on Yiddish" (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times), Stanley Elkin offers us the extraordinary Dorothy Bliss, an eighty-two-year-old widow caught in a tragicomic world, forced to find purpose in endless card games and "Good Neighbor Policy Night" at a Florida retirement community.
