Love Warps the Mind a Little

Love Warps the Mind a Little

by JohnDufresne (Author)

Synopsis

Ever since Lafayette Proulx quit his day job, left his wife, hauled his dog and his portable typewriter across town and moved in with his mistress, Judi Dubey, with the intention of becoming the Great American novelist, his life has been a sordid mess. He can put up with the futile and interminable marriage counselling and Judy's exotically dysfunctional white-trash family - even when they start killing each other - but the steady stream of vicious rejection slips from literary magazines is beginning to wear him down. But when Judi gets sick, Laf's life gets serious: the knockabout farce becomes a dark but redemptive tragedy.
