Description

New York. 2000. Simon & Schuster. 1st American Edition. Very Good In Dustjacket. pages: 255 pages. Cover: Jacket design by Rex Bonomelli/Sopt Design. keywords: Literature America Women Karl Marx. ISBN: 0743200039. April 2001. Ella Kennedy may not be perfect, but she's smart, she's dedicated, and she's finally managed to find a fascinating thesis subject in the morass of Marxist political theory: Eleanor Marx, the youngest daughter of Karl and a bright light in the Marxist movement, who famously declined after a disastrous love affair. With tenacity, with vigor, Ella Kennedy, Ph.D. student extraordinaire, begins delving into the world of Eleanor just as she takes a job setting up a Marxist mail-order catalogue at the fledgling Institute of Thought in Washington, D.C. - a veritable three-ring circus. When Ella's own life begins to parallel Eleanor's - right down to the domineering father (Ella's is known as the king of discount merchandising) and the distant yet brilliant lover - the theoretical, the political, and the personal collide in a hilarious romp of a novel. Wacky, heartwarming, and deliciously smart, this novel of heartbreak and hilarity on the doctoral circuit is the intersection of Laura Zigman, Nora Ephron, and Richard Russo. keywords: Literature America Women Karl Marx. inventory # 28865 ISBN: 0743200039.
