Here’s what author Lynn Harris has to say about her new book, Death by Chic Lit. The author is reading at the Community Bookstore on June 28th.
The heroine lives in Gowanus, though in
the book realtors have called it — since it’s (in the book) north of
"Wayside," the park slope stand-in, North Wayside, but of course it’s
so far out that her Manhattan friends call it "NoWay."The whole thing
is quite brooklyntastic, decrying its gentrification by people escaping
the mallification of manhattan.lots of good Coney stuff, too, which is
turning out, sadly, to be more prescient that i’d even thought.
