A smart, funny and remarkably polished collection of stories that combines the universal addictive appeal of Melissa Bank and Helen Fielding with the nervy, neurotic wit of Lorrie Moore. 'She's fierce and original, and anyone who loves language and relishes what makes people tick will fall in love with her.' Anna Shapiro, Observer 'Exquisite. I gobbled up this book in one sitting.' Anna Maxted The spirit of Mae West, the original liberated woman, lives on in this smart, funny collection of bittersweet tales of sex, cynicism and the single girl. 'Krouse's small-but-large tales of births, marriages and deaths have that gently Alan Bennett quality that comforts but unnerves all at the same time.' Lesley McDowell, Independent of Sunday 'A thoughtful and funny look at sex and the single girl.' Company 'This is arch, wise, accomplished storytelling.' Melissa Denes, Daily Telegraph 'Krouse's wistful, tender vision illuminates the bittersweet behind the bravado.' Daily Mail 'Frisky and unexpectedly serious. Full of zingy one-liners that would give Mae West a run for her money.' New York Times.

Fourth Estate, 2001. Paperback. Used: Acceptable. Paperback in good condition. 2001 Fourth Estate edition. . The spirit of Mae West, the original liberated woman, lives on in this smart, funny collection of bittersweet tales of sex, cynicism and the single girl. Erika Krouse's agile stories combine the addictive appeal of Melissa Bank and Helen Fielding with the nervy, neurotic wit of Lorrie Moore. Thirteen stories are narrated by thirteen different women - none of them mothers, none married. Each revolves around a famous line by Mae West, whose brassy boldness represents the unflappable self-sufficiency that all of Krouse's women strive for but never actually achieve. From 'What She Wore', where an actress takes Method acting too seriously to 'My Weddings', in which a discontented single woman spends her life attending other people's weddings, Erika Krouse's perfect comic timing and scalpel-sharp one-liners cull delirious humour from the trials and tribulations of her characters' lives. COME UP AND SEE ME SOMETIME is a delightful and thought-provoking collection, consistently surprising us with mirror images of the fears, foibles and facades of our own lives.

De geest van Mae West, wellicht de eerste werkelijk bevrijde vrouw in de popcultuur, waart rond in deze bitterzoete, thematisch aaneengeschakelde verhalen over sex, cynisme en alleenstaande jonge vrouwen. Het combineert de charme van Melissa Bank's The Girls Guide to Hunting and Fishing en de opgewekte verslavingen van Helen Fielding's Dagboek van Bridget Jones, met de neurotische gevatheid van Lorrie Moore in Birds of America. Ieder verhaal in Come Up and See Me Sometime wordt ingeleid door een oneliner van Mae West, wier spierballentaal en zelfverzekerdheid het ' onbereikbare ' doel vormen van Krouse's liefdevol beschreven jonge vrouwen. Erika Krouse (1973) woont in Boulder, Colorado. Ze publiceerde verhalen in Atlantic Monthly, Story en Ploughshares. Come Up and See Me Sometime is haar debuut. Physical, Hardcover.
