Bad Marie

<p>Reading Marcy Dermansky's <em>Bad Marie</em> 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 </p><p>Dermansky excels at depicting extreme emotional states and how we rationalize them. --<em>Village Voice</em> </p><p>From the critically-acclaimed author of <em>Twins</em> 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 (<em>Lullabies for Little Criminals</em>) and A.M. Homes (<em>Music for Torching</em>) will revel in the wicked delights of <em>Bad Marie</em>.</p>
