Synopsis
In Kate Christensen's amusing first novel, Claudia Steiner's life is going nowhere. She's involved in an unsatisfying romance while secretly in love with her friend William. She has no money. She drinks too much. She has a ridiculous job as secretary (and unsung ghostwriter) to a best-selling but mean, snobbish, and possibly insane writer; the job is bad enough: getting fired is worse. But when she does, she gradually begins to see her situation more clearly, and to understand what she wants from life and how to go about getting it.

Publisher's Note
A single, underemployed, twenty-nine-year-old woman in 1990s New York, Claudia Steiner struggles to cope with her job as secretary to a glamorous semi-lunatic boss, a former lover and unpublished poet married to a Russian stripper, and her best friend, William, with whom she has fallen in love. A first novel.

Industry reviews
"Much as I admire Christensen for refusing to neatly solve Claudia's problems, and for making her skeptical of the monied sleekness that increasingly passes for culture in downtown New York, her portrait of an inebriated bumbler often verges on cruelty. Just when you think Claudia couldn't sink any lower, there's one more abusive guy/wicked hangover/work-world insult to push her under. You wish Christensen would be generous enough to offer a hand and yank her girl partway out of the gutter."
Village Voice - Katherine Dieckmann (06/23/1999)

"A likable debut novel....Jolly, rollicking fun, told with good humor and easy wit."
