Bad Marie

“Reading Marcy Dermansky’s Bad Marie is like spending a rainy afternoon in a smaller older movie theater watching a charming French movie with a woman (or a man) you’ve just met on the street and already like far too much. It’s sinful in all the right ways delicate seditious and deliciously evil.” — Frederick Barthelme “Dermansky excels at depicting extreme emotional states and how we rationalize them.” —Village VoiceFrom the critically-acclaimed author of Twins Marcy Dermansky comes a highly original novel of Manhattan Paris and Mexico; of love and motherhood; and of life on the lam. Fans of Heather O’Neill (Lullabies for Little Criminals) and A.M. Homes (Music for Torching) will revel in the wicked delights of Bad Marie.
