Evan S. Connell's "Mrs Bridge" is an extraordinary tragicomic portrayal of suburban life and one of the classic American novels of the twentieth century, influencing books such as Jonathan Franzen's "The Corrections". This edition has an introduction by Joshua Ferris, author of "Then We Came to the End" and "The Unnamed". Mrs Bridge, an unremarkable and conservative housewife in Kansas City, has three children and a kindly lawyer husband. She spends her time shopping, going to bridge parties and bringing up her children to be pleasant, clean and have nice manners. And yet she finds modern life increasingly baffling, her children aren't growing up into the people she expected, and sometimes she has the vague disquieting sensation that all is not well in her life. In a series of comic, telling vignettes, Evan S. Connell illuminates the narrow morality, confusion, futility and even terror at the heart of a life of plenty. The companion novel, "Mr Bridge", telling the story from the other side of the marriage, is published in early 2013 in "Penguin Modern Classics", with an introduction by Lionel Shriver, author of "We Need to Talk About Kevin". "How it is done I only wish I knew". (Dorothy Parker). "An exquisite mixture of sympathy and ironic detachment". ("Independent"). ... less
