About this product
Product Information
Scarlett is the third of four children in the Martin family. The Martins live in and manage a shabby hotel in NYC that dates back to the 1920s. When Scarlett turns 15, she is put in charge of one of the hotel's 27 rooms- the Empire Suite. Into this room moves Mrs. Amberson, a failed 1970s starlet who has returned to New York to write her memoirs. Soon, Scarlett is taking dictation, running around town with Mrs. Amberson, and getting caught up in her Auntie Mame-meets-Bianca Jagger adventures. In the midst of all this, Scarlett falls in love - or so she thinks - and it takes Mrs. Amberson to help her see the light. Praise for Suite Scarlett: Utterly winning, madcap Manhattan face, crafted with a winking, urbane narrative and tight, wry dialogue. - Booklist, starred review The authentic charm of the characters and the endearing sweetness of their odd familial relationships...make this light read worthwhile. - Kirkus Reviews Johnson keeps the laughs coming. - Horn Book

Reviews
"What I admire most about The Little Girl and the Cigarette: the clarity with which this novel unmasks the fundamental stupidity of our modern world; the black humor that transforms horror into a fascinating danse macabre." -Milan Kundera "Duteurtre is a cultural bomb thrower." - International Herald Tribune "The novel goes down swinging-it gets its excited jabs in at everything from the nanny state to the way that children rule the adult world like tiny tyrants." -Paul Constant, The Stranger "A fascinating...fable of the terrifying power of public opinion." - Bookslut "Duteurtre suggests that our obsession with children is pure narcissism-we outlaw our freedoms not because we love children but because we want to be them. And when we rebel, we do it because we long for the reassurance that having boundaries gives. It is maddening to watch this bureaucrat refuse to acknowledge his own childish behavior-like puffing secretly upstairs in a relative's nonsmoking home-as he rails against everyone else. On one hand, you empathize with his fight for personal liberties. On the other, you wish he'd just grow up and behave. Ultimately, he comes off as whiny, self-absorbed and unsympathetic. But this is precisely the point: We can see him no other way." -Karrie Higgins, The Los Angeles Times "As an unfiltered hit of misanthropy, the book goes down strong and bitter, leaving behind a craving for more." -David Ng, The Village Voice "Both funny and unsettling." - Chicago Reader "A joy to read, as much as it is alarming." - Le Monde

Very fast shipping. Somewhat disappointed that the edition received is not the edition pictured in the listing. The listing itself clarifies this though, so that’s mostly my fault for not reading closer. Still happy with the purchase and service.
