Book Overview
"A poignant portrait of a long-term relationship, with all the disappointments and occasional triumphs that entails. A funny, sad and original take on the mating game" ( Kirkus Reviews ). While waiting in line for apple pie at a party, Imogene Gilfeather, a lingerie designer who does not understand the reason for romance, meets Wally Yez, a scientist. Imogene is told that Wally is the perfect guy. ("Perfect," she replies, "is not my type.") Unfazed by Imogene's indifference, Wally resolves to win her over. E-mails turn into late-night phone calls; one date turns into two and then more. Wally is certain he and Imogene are meant for each other. (They both use mechanical pencils Neither has had mumps ) But convincing his beloved is another matter. In defiance of the odds, or the gods, or perhaps just Imogene's qualms, Wally and Imogene become a pair. Will Imogene indulge Wally's longing for children? Can they possibly end as happily as they've begun? Starting from Happy is a winning and sophisticated look at a rather zany couple as they come of age, and then just age--by one of the finest comic writers of our time.
