“Though the jerry-built plot of Still Life with Husband devolves into a soap-opera-ish melodrama about adultery and angst, this novel is no passing piece of chick lit. Rather, it marks the debut of a delightful new voice in American fiction, a voice that instantly recalls the wry, knowing prose of Lorrie Moore crossed with the screwball talents of the cartoonist Roz Chast.”
