A twice-divorced real estate broker who likes order in her life, she is equally scared of the precariousness of having someone matter to her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir uncertainties come to a head when Elliot takes her to a party to meet \"the guys\"--Bobby, who works for \u003ci\u003ePlayboy\u003c\/i\u003e; Phil, a recovering alcoholic; and Larry, who \"is not comfortable with a woman outside the confines of a divorce court.\" The encounter becomes an initiation ceremony crackling with witty, barbed, and devastating dialogue that strips the two lovers of all pretensions, forcing them to confront each other anew in a painful awareness of their vulnerability. The result is a bitterly funny play about the ambiguities of being in love, with Jules Feiffer at his most incisive, wise, and wickedly honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jules Feiffer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grove Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.37w x 0.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802131294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJules Feiffer\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of two novels, \u003ci\u003eHarry, the Rat with Women\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAckroyd\u003c\/i\u003e; the plays \u003ci\u003eLittle Murders\u003c\/i\u003e (which won an Obie Award in 1967 and was voted best foreign play of the year by London critics), \u003ci\u003eGod Bless\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKnock Knock\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe White House Murder Case\u003c\/i\u003e; and the screenplays for \u003ci\u003eCarnal Knowledge\u003c\/i\u003e and for the film version of \u003ci\u003eLittle Murders\u003c\/i\u003e.
