A faultless perfomance... Brilliant comedy (Time Out)
Bold, wonderful... I shall read it again (Times)
Lucy Ellmann is brilliant... So read it (Victoria Glendinning, Literary Review)
Dazzling... Writing of such a high calibre... Flashes of humour and understanding so brilliant (Susie Boyt, Independent)

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION AND PRINTING. "Fierce, brilliantly comic, searing and profound, 'Man or Mango?' is a singularly compelling and ambitious new novel." The award-winning America-born, British resident author's third novel. "The book itself is a collage of lists, its scope ranging from inventories of house contents to the elements that constitute seawater-the kind of manly data that distracts us continually from our true dilemma: how to love in a loveless world. 'Man or Mango?' is a trick question, and a bold, inventive novel that needs to be reckoned with. It confirms the arrival of a major-and brutally funny-writer." 239 pages. One red bleeding spot on top of spine binding visible on corresponding underside of dustjacket. GM1. Seller Inventory # 002152
