Coe. 264 1 $a [Sacramento, California?] : $b Spurl Editions, $c [2023] 300 $a 232 pages ; $c 17 cm 520 $a "Middle-aged Mary Ellen Washie has finally freed herself of her stultified past life in western New York state and moved to Florida. With the husband she's grown to hate firmly in her rearview mirror, and all ties to her family cut off, she changes her name, bleaches her hair, and befriends Natalie, a seemingly kind, martini-loving woman whom she promptly begins to manipulate. As her machinations propel her beyond the brink of who she used to be, Mary Ellen seeks to unburden herself--but not one to sit down with pen and paper, she narrates the events of her new life into a cassette tape recorder, giving each tape an innocuous name to keep the curious away. A riveting account of one woman's awful reinvention, M. S. Coe's new novel is disturbingly funny and completely unexpected. With elements of pulp noir and confessional literature, The Formation of Calcium depicts the bland misery of modern American life as one woman seeks her own ill-fated transformation." - back cover 650 0 $a Women $x Identity $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $x Psychology $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Women $x Identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176807 650 7 $a Women $x Psychology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176894 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240320011917.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4159A924E67F11EE94C7D61345ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
