Book Description Cloth & Boards. Condition: Very Good/Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. This book is a glorious New York comedy, covering ten years in the lives of a group of young hopefuls through the '70s and into the '80s. Narrated by the unstoppable garrulous Gil, it is sometimed uproarious, sometimes bawdy, and sometimes as insane as Emma herself - the super-neurotic New Yorker who drives Gil crazy with her celibacy and her imaginary brain tumour but also saves his life from ever getting.uh, normal. Funny, warm, affectionate, this is the kind of novel that makes you want to write 'how true!'. It is a triumphant debut. 470 pages. Very slight shelf wear and a tiny tear to edge of D/J.
