Fiction/Contemporary N-R

New York, U.S.A.: Dell Pub Co, 1991. From Publishers Weekly - This immensely entertaining fifth novel from the author of Radio Blues is as much an astute sociological study of yuppies in late-'80s New York as it is amusing, hip, highly readable fiction. Publisher Harry Hart and psychiatrist Donnie Jamieson, best friends with second houses in the Hamptons, loved the same Marilyn Monroe look-alike back in high school. When she moves to Easthampton 25 years later, disrupting their summer routine, wacky inconveniences give way to family catastrophes, and the men, their wives and their loved ones--most of whom could have stepped out of TV's thirty some thing --must confront the fear and angst lurking beneath their cool exteriors. Keen observation and psychological insight empower Nagy's lively portrayals of everyone from the lowbrow masseuse to the teenage au pair to the status-conscious millionaires for whom Ferraris, Ralph Lauren, psychotherapy and sun-dried tomatoes are the stuff of life..

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Onyx Books, 1994. Another darkly romantic thriller from Norman (Fascination, 1992; Shattered Stars, 1991, etc.)--a high-glamour journey through the theater worlds of London and New York. On the eve of what's to be her greatest performance--the lead in Hedda Gabler--London stage legend Diana Lancaster dies. Her seven-year-old son, Sebastian, is whisked away from his two playmates, best friend Jeremy and Katharine, a visiting American girl, to begin mourning. But it appears that his grief is not of the unhealthy type, for the boy grows up to be a paragon of virtue, beauty, and intelligence. He is even able bravely to set aside whatever ill memories he has of the stage to start a wildly successful theatrical agency with Jeremy, now a sinisterly bisexual bad seed. Yet Sebastian is not entirely the golden boy. There are certain disquieting mysteries from his past, one of them having to do with a lipstick, poisoned with hydrochloric acid, said to have been used by the lead in a production of Hedda Gabler. And although he practically has to beat women away, Sebastian just can't seem to fall in love. Katharine, now a brilliant, amber-eyed set designer. The two marry, return to England, have sex often, and drink lots of good champagne. Things change, however, once the couple move into Sebastian's childhood home--and his parents' former bedroom. He begins to have strange headaches; his lovemaking takes on an alarming twist. Soon, Sebastian insists that Katharine switch careers--from set design to acting. This insistence turns to obsession and something far worse when a new production of Hedda Gabler comes to London--and Katharine finds herself understudying for the lead role. - From Kirkus Reviews..
