Miss Lulu Bett and Selected Stories
Author: Zona Gale
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN: 1400095387
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Lulu Bett lives in a small town with her sister Ina and Ina’s husband Dwight–a dentist who rules his household with self-righteous smugness. The unmarried Lulu has learned that she cannot question her role as chief cook, housekeeper, and gracious presence. But when Dwight’s sophisticated brother Ninian comes to visit, Lulu finds in herself a surprising wit–and the boldness to accept his playful proposal of marriage. Through her appealing, determined heroine, Zona Gale satirically dispatches a sheaf of the social assumptions of her day, from male supremacy to the security of marriage. First published in 1920, Miss Lulu Bett was immediately acclaimed, and went on to become one of two bestselling novels of the year. Together with four of Gale’s short stories–including the O. Henry award-winning “Bridal Pond”–Miss Lulu Bett reflects Gale’s broad progressive interests and the fast-paced, affecting prose which made her one of the most popular writers of her time and a classic American storteller. “A great book . . . the telling is almost incomparable” —Robert Benchley, The World “Eloquent. . . . Miss Lulu Bett is without flaw” —The Atlantic Monthly “It has a narrowly limned beauty. . . . The book stands as a signal accomplishment in American letters” —The New Republic

It's almost a sequel, but not really, well almost, but not even close. Is it just more of the same babbling? Could it have anything to do with anything? Or is it exactly what you've been waiting for. Maybe it's a self-help book, but not one of these mansy-pansy pieces of crap that tells you its all going to be all right because you're a bright shiny star that always been perfect and blah, blah, blah, ... WTF!?!?!?! (to steal a little internet jargon) No, rather this will kick you hard in your posterior and scream at you. What it will scream, no one is really all that sure, but it will scream at you all the same. Enjoy. Thank you, please drive thru.
