商品の説明
内容説明
Paints a funny picture of today's male-female relationship wars, messy sex roles and romantic expectations. Pamela finds herself unwillingly in the middle of an adventure at home and abroad. The author also wrote "American Dad", "Slaves of New York" and "A Cannibal in Manhattan".
From Publishers Weekly
Janowitz's witty and hyberbolic tale about seamy, disaffected New Yorkers poses serio-comic questions about gender and identity but is flawed by a misdirected plot.

The most fun and entertaining book ever!!
2001/8/6
形式:ペーパーバック
This book has never really got a fair shake. After SLAVES OF NEW YORK got so much acclaim, Janowitz was unfairly treated with the backlash reserved for those who become famous "too fast". A Cannibal In Manhattan was not a great work, but CROSSDRESSER most certainly was. It's extremely funny, whimsical, and daring. I've read it several times, and no other book in existence has ever made me laugh so hard. SLAVES was great, but I seem to be one of the few who feels this is even better. (I also like Kirsty MacColl, Flannery O'Connor, Scott Heim, Sam Phillips, John Waters, Todd Solondz, and French & Saunders, just in case you're wondering.)

PATHETIC

I had to agree with the reader who lost interest when Pamela couldn't tell that the head she had picked up from the highway was an actual one. I found the first half fairly funny, but the road trip and everything afterwards was over the top. It wasn't just the head -- burning down her father's house? Keeping the head all the way to Maine? How stupid can a person be? That I was supposed to sympathize with Pamela's misadventures is insulting. The only bright spot was Abdhul -- he deserved better.

Seriously disappointing.

This book is a mess.
Janowitz's short stories are far better. Essentially what it seems she's tried to do here is "novelize" a series of short story ideas, totally without success. Janowitz specializes in off the wall characters, but there is a fine line between off the wall and simply bizarre, and Janowitz crosses it with a vengeance here.
And it's not just the characters, but the situations as well. There's a long aside about dealing with a severed head that's pointless, ridiculous and adds not a whit to the story.
It's unfortunate--the basic concept of finding a wayward child in trouble, running off to save the boy, then coming back as a man (this was a very mannish woman to begin with) might have had some interesting possibilities for humor and social insight. But the situation is so buried in detritus and the set of characters so contrived neither insight--nor much humor-emerges.
Ms. Janowitz would be well served by steering a bit more toward the mainstream and worrying a bit more about developing a story rather than a reputation.
