Foreword by Alissa Bennett
Afterword by Marc Parrott
“Precociously aphoristic and coolly unsentimental . . . Like Fitzgerald but from a woman’s perspective . . . As if Dorothy Parker, Noël Coward, and Oscar Wilde had collaborated to examine the war between the sexes in the post-Victorian era.” —Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Review of Books
An instant bestseller when it was published anonymously in 1929, Ex-Wife is the story of a divorce and its aftermath that scandalized the Jazz Age—and still resonates today.
