The latest in an occasional series of posts on authors who praise each other’s books
Stephen McCauley on Elinor Lipman’s The Family Man:
“Elinor Lipman’s patented blend of wit, whimsy, and love for her characters makes every sentence of The Family Man shine. The book is a delightful Manhattan romp that offers 300 pages of pure reading pleasure.”
Elinor Lipman on Stephen McCauley’s Alternatives to Sex:
“Alternatives to Sex is my favorite of Stephen McCauley’s wonderful novels. This is genius at work, but genius of the best, most readable kind: witty, lovable, and so amazingly smart about love in many forms — about friendship, about marriage, about real estate.”
