MERMAIDS IN PARADISE.
Edition: First printing.
New York: W. W. Norton & Company, (2015) dj. Hardcover first edition - A novel which described as "a send-up of the American honeymoon" but which is a lot more. Set at a Caribbean island resort, where newlyweds Deb and Chip - the opinionated, skeptical narrator and her affable husband - meet a marine biologist who says she's sighted mermaids in a coral reef. A book which is both very funny and thought provoking, as it skewers rapacious capitalism and modern America's obsession with social media, but also has an ending that is "one of the most luminous and unsettling in recent fiction." (NY Times). ISBN: 978-0393245622.
Condition: Very near fine in a fine dustjacket. (remainder dot)
