`Katie Yee is a storyteller extraordinaire` DELIA EPHRON, sister of Nora Ephron and author of Siracusa`An absolutely delightful debut! An inspiring story of growth and wonder. Highly recommend!` ELIN HILDERBRAND, author of The Perfect Couple, now a major Netflix series`One of the most delightful debuts I`ve read in a long time` The New York Times `Stands out as one of the most unusual literary debuts of the summer` Washington Post `A gem of a novel, one that will make you think, make you feel, and make you laugh." ALISON ESPACH, author of The Wedding People`A wry meditation on grief, healing, and reclaiming one`s identity.` TIME Magazine`A stand-out and must-read debut... Every paragraph is perfect` WEIKE WANG, author of Joan Is OkayA man and a woman walk into a restaurant. The woman expects a lovely night filled with endless plates of samosas. Instead, she finds out her husband is having an affair with a woman named Maggie.A short while after, her chest starts to ache. She walks into an examination room, where she finds out the pain in her breast isn`t just heartbreak-it`s cancer. She decides to call the tumor Maggie.Unfolding in fragments over the course of the ensuing months, Maggie; Or, a Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar follows the narrator as she embarks on a journey of grief, healing, and reclamation. She starts talking to Maggie (the tumor), getting acquainted with her body`s new inhabitant. She overgenerously creates a "Guide to My Husband: A User`s Manual" for Maggie (the other woman), hoping to ease the process of discovering her ex-husband`s whims and quirks. She turns her children`s bedtime stories into retellings of Chinese folklore passed down by her own mother, in an attempt to make them fall in love with their shared culture-and to maybe save herself in the process.In the style of Jenny Offill and the tradition of Nora Ephron`s hilarious and devastating writing on heartbreak and womanhood, Maggie is a master class in transforming personal tragedy into a form of defiant comedy.
