Synopsis

"The four main characters in Pickle's Progress seem more alive than most of the people we know in real life."―Richard Russo

Marcia Butler's debut novel, Pickle's Progress, is a fierce, mordant New York story about the twisted path to love.

Over the course of five weeks, identical twin brothers, one wife, a dog, and a bereaved young woman collide with each other to comical and sometimes horrifying effect. Everything is questioned and tested as they jockey for position and try to maintain the status quo. Love is the poison, the antidote, the devil and, ultimately, the hero.

"Pickle's Progress is a Weird ― But Secretly Sweet ― Journey."―npr

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Marcia Butler is a former professional oboist, interior designer, filmmaker, acclaimed memoirist, and author of two novels. Her third novel, Dear Virginia, Wait for Me, was inspired by the notion that everyone has conversations going on in their head. This can be slightly irritating, quite annoying, or in the case of mental illness, the voices often take control and destroy a person's entire life. What would happen if a young girl relied on the benevolent voice in her head to guide her, and what if that voice was Virginia Woolf? After many decades in New York City, Marcia now makes her home in New Mexico.
