"[What a Piece of Work I Am] centers on the sultry Ariane, who had been the town bad girl in the 1950s. Baring the sexual secrets and bizarre events of her past . . . Ariane pieces together a wild, fascinating tale based on her erotic history. Peter listens as Ariane, who is six years older and more worldly, recounts growing up lower-class and having sex with many boys while the good girls shunned and hounded her for it. He remembers vividly his own puppy love for this luscious older sister of his best friend, Raskol. . . . A rebel before her time, questing, daring yet bumbling in the back seats of guys' cars, fearless to the point of foolishness, she remains resilient enough to pursue a twisting life's odyssey that demonstrates her growing sophistication in matters of love and sex." Mark Ciabattari, Washington Post Book World A New York Times Notable Book Of The Year

He is known for his series of novels that make up The Personal History, Adventures, Experiences and Observations of Peter Leroy. Each novel tells of some aspect of the fictional Leroy's life. Several are supposed to have been written by Leroy. All are deeply felt, yet comic depictions of contemporary life and manners. Readers unfamiliar with the earlier Leroy novels will be delighted with Kraft's wry style, deep insights into youth and age and sly observation of adult behavior. Kraft's prose is a rare delight. After high school, Ariane Lodkochnikov worked as a waitress in a clam bar. It was a job but not a life, so one day she took off her goofy clam hat and quit. She couldn't have guessed then that her life would take her so far from her home in Babbington, Long Island. What a Piece of Work I Am is the story of her extraordinary career and the process of self-creation that it both requires and inspires. Like a thread through a labyrinth, her story takes many a strange turn. To tell it, she enlists the help of Peter Leroy, who loved her when he was a boy. Peter, a master of the art of wishful thinking, uses this book to give to Ariane the gift of a second chance at life, a chance to make herself into the person she might have become.; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 275 pages.
