By the Booker-shortlisted author of Ducks, Newburyport , a formally madcap and prescient novel about men (and women), mangos (and bees), and modern love.
Reclusive Elo�se lives with her cats and her cello in an English country cottage, privately building a case against men, women, the Queen, Nazi list-makers, fluorescent lighting, her ex-flatmate Howard, nuclear bombs, and toilet-roll-holder manufacturers.
She has a real thing about giant pumpkin growers too.
George is an American poet, recently arrived in the UK.
Struggling to finish an epic poem on ice hockey, he plays a lot of pinball and gets chased around by his students.
Lost, lonely, and in love, he and Elo�se really should be together, yet it seems they may never meet up.
But Man or Mango? is more than a lament for unrequited transatlantic romance.
Funny and furious, it is a scathing, searing, rollicking and vertiginous reflection on life and love in a belligerent world.
