520    Meet the women of 'American Housewife' they wear lipstick,
       pearls, and sunscreen, even when it's cloudy. They 
       casserole. They pinwheel. They pump the salad spinner like
       it's a CPR dummy. And then they kill a party crasher, 
       carefully stepping around the body to pull cookies out of 
       the oven. These twelve irresistible stories take us from a
       haunted prewar Manhattan apartment building to the set of 
       a rigged reality television show, from the unique 
       initiation ritual of a book club to the getaway car of a 
       pageant princess on the lam, from the gallery opening of a
       tinfoil artist to the fitting room of a legendary lingerie
       shop. Vicious, fresh, and nutty as a poisoned Goo Goo 
       Cluster, 'American Housewife' is an uproarious, pointed 
       commentary on womanhood. --Publisher
