商品描述内容简介A young Brooklyn mother, shaken at her unexpected (third) pregnancy, abandons her husband and kids and takes off on a cross-country road trip.媒体推荐Nine Monthsis a fierce, daring page-turner of a debut novel—a lacerating response to the culture of mommy blogs, helicopter parents and "parental correctness." Sonia does everything a pregnant woman shouldn't do, abandoning her two small children and husband, engaging in casual sex and smoking weed while on a road trip to retrace her own past and reclaim her sidelined career as an artist. Unflinching and hilarious, Bomer skewers modern parenthood while asking serious questions about what it means to be an artist and a mother.
Praise for Bomer's collectionBaby & Other Stories:
"Dysfunctional doesn't begin to describe the marriages in this brilliant, brutally raw debut collection."—O Magazine
"In 10 raw and angry stories, Bomer flays the idea of happy little families.... This lacerating take on marriage and motherhood is not one to share with the Mommy and Me group."—Publishers Weekly (starred)
"If Bomer's harsh portrayal of modern parenting and marriage were water, it would be transparent, unflecked, jagged ice.... She lands firmly between Mary Gaitskill's articulate, unflinching anhedonia and Kathy Acker.... Amy Hempel with a twist of Grace Paley.Babyis punk rock for the roundly domesticated." —Bookforum
"Words like 'tough' and 'honest' don't quite do justice to the fiction of Paula Bomer. The real housewives of Bomerworld break themselves and break your heart and yet never completely lose their soulful dignity." —Sam Lipsyte, author ofThe Ask
