Description
From the critically acclaimed author of What If We Were Somewhere Else, If The Ice Had Held, The Seven Stages of Anger and Other Stories, and The Pull of It, comes The Last Supper.
The Last Supper follows three months in the chaotic life of Amanda, a middle-aged stay-at-home mom who is desperate for something more than world of her suburb. She has failed at multi-level marketing, and she is failing at being mom-fluencer, all while living in terror of what’s for dinner. Yet, when the cracks in her marriage finally split wide enough, Amanda sees a path to reclaim both her own creative and economic agency.
Past Praise for Wendy J. Fox
“Fox’s prose is laced with tenderness, exploring lives measured in acceptance, kindness and connection. Even while moving insightfully through the more alienating facets of office culture — networking parties, breakroom concerns — Fox invests most of all in what makes us people over workers: those closely held moments pregnant with change, when a new life could break open if we just reach for the person next to us.” – New York Times
“Wendy J. Fox delivers a realistic, emotionally driven set of interlinked stories. Relatable, affecting, and at times absurd, this collection is for anyone who has felt frustrated at work.” – Booklist Starred Review
“Fox delivers finely observed, lyrical, storytelling, persuasive in its depiction of everyday unions and choices … this is eloquent tale-spinning lit by unshowy portraiture. A small world, but a perceptible talent.” – Kirkus Reviews
