The Male Cross-Dresser Support Group - Tama Janowitz

Meet Pamela Trowell, slave of New York. The lone inhabitant of a mouldy ground-floor studio; and the kind of woman who attracts Manhattan's wrongest men, even when she wears make-up.

Until one evening she's trailed home from the pizza parlour by a funny young boy, and Pamela finds herself becoming the one thing she least expected: a surrogate mum . . .

Following the triumphs of Slaves of New York and A Cannibal in Manhattan, the new novel from Tama Janowitz paints a fiercely funny picture of today's male-female relationship wars, messy sex roles and romantic expectations.

'Tama Janowitz is the most fascinating, and fascinated, chronicler of the dystopian metropolis since Mrs Gaskell . . . The whirling, hectic world-pictures she sprays on the page keep you happily hooked . . . If you like Viz, Harry Enfield, Sir Les Patterson and bedspreads made from "bullfrogs painstakingly skinned, tanned, and stitched together", you'll love this book' Penny Perrick, Sunday Times

'Janowitz bounces back only funnier. Much funnier' Gordon Burn, Independent on Sunday
