Condition: New
New Ships From Canada. Stamp on side borders and on the first blank page, otherwise new Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. 160 p. Audience: General/trade. From Kirkus Reviews: ... Thirty or so short dialogues, each with a full-page color painting to illustrate, make up this short story (billed as a ``novel'') about the wedding between two yuppies, from their offbeat proposal to the last minutes of the trendy reception. Those expecting a Serial-style flash of humor will be disappointed by this rather mundane tale of reluctant newlyweds surrounded by their adulterous siblings, lecherous friends, and insufferable parents. Not engaging enough to stage as a play, these snippets of upper-middle-class banter might make a good half hour on TV. The illustrations nicely capture key moments in the story, and often add sly little details in the backgrounds. Osborn's New Yorker-ish style will guarantee that this book shows up at bridal showers this wedding season, if only to console more conventional brides. Read more Show Less

More About This Book

Overview

Bonnie and Kip just want to get married (maybe). Tansy just can't believe that anyone would want to get married. George and Fay just hope that nobody finds out about their affair. Lorraine, George's wife, just has a strange sinking sensation. Bonnie's mother just wishes the bride would wear a more traditional dress. With a wry sense of humor and an infallible ear for dialogue, Jacqueline Carey captures the obsessions of her generation as they discuss relationships, faith, betrayal, and clothes - all while preparing to attend a rather eventful wedding. New Yorker artist Kathy Osborn combines a detective's eye and an exquisite sensibility in her whimsical paintings, which complement the story by laying bare details that the text keeps secret. A delicious combination of Much Ado about Nothing and an Archie comic book, this urbane, witty novel is perfect for people who can't believe they're finally getting married and for people who swear they'll never get married.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly
A vivid and arresting jacket, numerous full-page, full-color illustrations and a distinctively spaced text delivered entirely in captioned dialogue, like a play, make this charming book an attention-grabber. Part grown-up comic book, part wry nuptial guide, this is not a gimmick item, however, but a solid piece of work from two young artists who enhance their already fine reputationsnovelist Carey wrote Gossip and The Other Family; Osborn has done covers for the New Yorkerwith a playful collaboration that perfectly captures how simultaneously vexing and beguiling the months leading up to big events can be. Kip lives in New York, and Bonnie lives in Washington, D.C.; they get engaged over the phone. They set the date only to realize that one of them will have to give up a good job so they can live together. This causes their first fight. (The delightful reconciliation sequence is composed of messages left on answering machines.) Bonnie's parents are baffled that she won't let them pay for the wedding, particularly when it turns out that both Kip and Bonnie resign from their jobs the day after their fight. The news that Kip's brother George (who's been married four times) is having an affair with bridesmaid Fay (who married her high-school sweetheart) shakes Bonnie and Kip's confidence in marital ties, and they wonder, in the nervous last days before their wedding, if either of them knows a single happily married couple. But the ceremony more than resolves their doubts and even manages to rejuvenate some other relationships. The marriage here of edgy art and smart dialogue conveys each character's insecurities and yearnings. (June)
