2.Peyton Amberg: A NovelPeyton Amberg: A Novel
from St. Martin's Griffin

Customer Review:
I think Tama Janowitz is one of the most important female writers of our generation and I become offended at the moral idiocy of certain reviewers, who seem incapable of grasping the finer nuances and humor of Janowitz's style. Just as "A Certain Age" describes a modern-day Lilly Bart to perfection,... more info

3.A Certain Age: A NovelA Certain Age: A Novel
from Anchor
Price: $11.70

Customer Review:
I can't say I actually enjoyed this book, but I couldn't put it down, and now that I'm done I can't stop thinking about it. It has a certain nightmare quality which refuses to be dismissed. In fact, after the last page I had that same wash of relief that comes after waking up from a bad dream.... more info

from St. Martin's Press
Price: $24.95

Customer Review:
I haven't seen any of Janowitz's writing since Slaves of New York was first in paprback. This is a book I still refer myself back to now and then for some of its best stories ("You and the Boss" and "Kurt and Natasha: A Relationship" come to mind), but this book was followed with the quickly... more info

Hear That? How many of us have played this game w/our child(ren)? Here is a new book that takes the journey to a really silly imaginative level.

6.The Male Cross-dresser Support GroupThe Male Cross-dresser Support Group
from Picador

Customer Review:
This book is a mess.

Janowitz's short stories are far better. Essentially what it seems she's tried to do here is "novelize" a series of short story ideas, totally without success. Janowitz specializes in off the wall characters, but there is a fine line between off the wall and simply bizarre,... more info

7.By the Shores of Gitchee GumeeBy the Shores of Gitchee Gumee
from Crown

Customer Review:
I bought this book with a new interest in Janowitz's writing following the publication of Peyton Amberg. While on the holds list at the public library for Peyton, I decided to give her earlier works a try. This particular book was so horrible, just in the first few pages, that I don't think I'll... more info

10.A Cannibal in ManhattanA Cannibal in Manhattan
from Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Customer Review:
great book and take on the NY citi social scene from the point of an outsider, in this case a genuine cannibal "straight off" the dark jungles of Africa. Anyone not appreciating this book as no sense of satire or humor and I hope not to ever meet such a drab. Great entertainment.
