Maynard And Jennica

Exuberantly illuminating much that is true and often horrifying about modern life, Delsons uproarious and deeply moving novel remains at heart a love story.

A wildly original debut, Maynard and Jennica is both a
hilarious urban comedy and a captivating love story. In
the summer of 2000, while riding the uptown number 6
train, the musician/filmmaker Maynard Gogarty first encounters
the beautiful Jennica Green.Though their initial meeting
is brief, when fate next brings them together a romance
ensues, and as with most things in life, everyone has an opinion.
Delson tells the story of this improbable love affair
through the voices of Maynard and Jennica, along with their
family, friends, and assorted characters (among them two
attorneys, three journalists, and a rap star) pulled into their
dizzying orbit.He brings to life a pair of lovers who are
flawed, complex, at once eccentric and deeply familiar--and
in whose story we continue to feel invested long after we've
turned the last page.
In the words of Mohsin Hamid, author of The Reluctant
Fundamentalist, "this book is the reason we should all read
first novels."
