Frances Price - tart widow, possessive mother, and Upper East Side force of nature - is in dire straits, beset by scandal and impending bankruptcy. Her adult son Malcolm is no help, mired in a permanent state of arrested development. And then there's the Price's aging cat, Small Frank, who Frances believes houses the spirit of her late husband, an infamously immoral litigator and world-class cad whose gruesome tabloid death rendered Frances and Malcolm social outcasts. Putting penury and pariahdom behind them, the family decides to cut their losses and head for the exit. One ocean voyage later, the curious trio land in their beloved Paris, the City of Light serving as a backdrop not for love or romance, but self destruction and economical ruin - to riotous effect. A number of singular characters serve to round out the cast: a bashful private investigator, an aimless psychic proposing a seance, a doctor who makes house calls with his wine merchant in tow, and the inimitable Mme. Reynard, aggressive houseguest and dementedly friendly American expat. Brimming with pathos and wit, French Exit is a one-of-a-kind 'tragedy of manners, ' a riotous send-up of high society, as well as a moving mother/son caper which only Patrick deWitt could conceive and execute"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Widows $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Adult children living with parents $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Scandals $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Bankruptcy $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Paris (France) $v Fiction. 650 7 $a FICTION $x Literary. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Family Life. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION $x Humorous. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Black humor (Literature) $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Black humor. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Black humor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726518 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 776 08 $i Online version: $a DeWitt, Patrick, 1975- $t French exit. $b First edition. $d New York : Ecco, [2018] $z 9780062846945 $w (DLC) 2017057308 941 $a 42 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014624.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305014927.0 952 $l BRPD251 $d 20240119014612.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240111030532.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012013109.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014916.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230310014528.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201013354.0 952 $l KHPB566 $d 20230126011420.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909051400.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728021651.0 952 $l CGPC482 $d 20220526011620.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518022521.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215014350.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722055727.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806022659.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529014258.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110074433.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211012609.0 952 $l YWPD162 $d 20190817012331.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20190802012519.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717035832.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20190524014624.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20190417011131.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20190416011359.0 952 $l HNPC845 $d 20190319012006.0 952 $l BBPC251 $d 20190305013156.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20181225013004.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20181225011843.0 952 $l FJPC224 $d 20181225011657.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20181225010955.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20181127012922.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20181127010755.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20181026010130.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006121216.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20181003011216.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20181002011824.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20181002011431.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20180928011141.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20180926011226.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180906012738.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20180905061027.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F96D11ECAB5011E89BC3895A97128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
