Night night fawn : a novel
(Book)

"In a cluttered rent-controlled apartment in the middle of Manhattan, Barbara Rosenberg--old world yenta, committed homophobe, accomplished jazzercizer--is terminally ill, high on opioids, and writing the story of her life. Forget about her late husband, her career as the receptionist for an Upper East Side plastic surgeon, and her failed aspirations to be an actress. What she really wants to talk about are her unhinged thoughts on gender, Karl Marx, Jewish diaspora, and her two great disappointing loves: an estranged trans son and a long lost best friend whose betrayal haunts Barbara still. As she descends further into delirium and illness, Barbara's theories get wilder, and her circumstances put her on a crash course with these intimates once again"-- Provided by publisher.
