Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Dark and erotic in addition to being clever and charming. It is laced with sexual scenes so graphic I hesitate to share them with you"-New York Times Book Review

When Ira Fishblatt's girlfriend, Ruth Grubstein, moves into his apartment, he has the kitchen renovated to make her feel at home. She is tickled pink, but hundreds of other houseguests aren't-the cockroaches who'd been living high on the hog before they were starved out. Weiss is a witty fabulist whose animals have profound things to say about the human condition.

Daniel Evan Weiss'snovels include Hell On Wheels, Honk If You Love Aphroditeand The Swine's Wedding. He lives in New York City.

Synopsis:

When Ira Fishblatt's girlfriend, Ruth Grubstein moves in, the kitchen is renovated and the cockroaches are starved out. One cockroach, Numbers, hatches a plan to encourage a romance between Ira and another woman, to rid themselves of Ruth and her damnable tidiness.
