Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: From the acclaimed filmmaker, artist, and bestselling author of No One Belongs Here More Than You, a spectacular debut novel that is so heartbreaking, so dirty, so tender, so funnyâso Miranda Julyâthat readers will be blown away.
Here is Cheryl, a tightly-wound, vulnerable woman who lives alone, with a perpetual lump in her throat. She is haunted by a baby boy she met when she was six, who sometimes recurs as other peopleâs babies. Cheryl is also obsessed with Phillip, a philandering board member at the womenâs self-defense nonprofit where she works. She believes theyâve been making love for many lifetimes, though they have yet to consummate in this one.
When Cherylâs bosses ask if their twenty-one-year-old daughter, Clee, can move into her house for a little while, Cherylâs eccentrically ordered world explodes. And yet it is Cleeâthe selfish, cruel blond bombshellâwho bullies Cheryl into reality and, unexpectedly, provides her the love of a lifetime.
Tender, gripping, slyly hilarious, infused with raging sexual obsession and fierce maternal love, Miranda Julyâs first novel confirms her as a spectacularly original, iconic, and important voice today, and a writer for all time. The First Bad Man is dazzling, disorienting, and unforgettable.
