The National Book Award–winning novel by the writer whom Fran Lebowitz called “the real F. Scott Fitzgerald”
Joe Chapin led a storybook life. A successful small-town lawyer with a beautiful wife, two over-achieving children, and aspirations to be president, he seemed to have it all. But as his daughter looks back on his life, a different man emerges: one in conflict with his ambitious and shrewish wife, terrified that the misdeeds of his children will dash his political dreams, and in love with a model half his age. With black wit and penetrating insight,
Ten North Frederick
stands with Richard Yates’
Revolutionary Road
, Evan S. Connell’s
Mr. Bridge
and
Mrs. Bridge
, the stories of John Cheever, and
Mad Men
as a brilliant portrait of the personal and political hypocrisy of mid-century America.
