Reviews
" One Woman Show is a wildly original, always compelling novel masquerading as a catalogue raisonée of the heart. Christine Coulson is the wise and witty curator of this bravura piece of performance art. I challenge you not to devour it in one sitting." --John Guare, author of The House of Blue Leaves and Six Degrees of Separation ., "Brilliant. Christine Coulson's tragicomedy of manners is an immense delight. Condensed into its witty format is the story of a life, a life like some I have known and others about which I have read. Coulson captures her character's gentle decline with the precision of Edith Wharton and evokes the eras she traverses with such clarity, even wisdom, describing a woman's changing (or unchanging) role in the world with an acuity that left this reader astonished time and again." --Andrew Solomon , author of The Noonday Demon and Far from the Tree "Coulson's language is perfection. One Woman Show is heartbreaking and funny and comes together like a ballad. I love the pages of voices, like voices in the galleries, and so many moments made me laugh. Truly masterful and patient and insane, in the best way." --Leanne Shapton, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Swimming Studies "Strange, biting, tender, and heartbreaking in turns. AND all at once. One Woman Show is an incredibly complicated story to pull off. And Christine Coulson does it. I read it in one fell swoop. It is brilliant." -- Maira Kalman, author of Women Holding Things
Synopsis
A "modern masterwork" ( NPR )--remarkably told through museum wall labels--about a 20th-century woman who transforms herself from a precious object into an unforgettable protagonist. Author Christine Coulson spent twenty-five years writing for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her final project was to write wall labels for the museum's new British Galleries. During that time, she dreamt of using The Met's strict label format to describe people as intricate works of art. The result is this "jewel box of a novel" ( Kirkus Reviews ) that imagines a privileged 20th-century woman as an artifact--an object prized, collected, and critiqued. One Woman Show revolves around the life of Kitty Whitaker as she is defined by her potential for display and moved from collection to collection through multiple marriages. Coulson precisely distills each stage of this sprawling life, every brief snapshot in time a wry reflection on womanhood, ownership, value, and power. "A moving story of privilege, womanhood, and the sweep of the 20th century told through a single American life" (Rumaan Alam, author of Leave the World Behind ), Kitty is an eccentric heroine who disrupts her porcelain life with both major force and minor transgressions. Described with poignancy and humor, Coulson's playful reversal on our interaction with art ultimately questions who really gets to tell our stories.

    I purchased a bible through this seller. It was is a beautiful bible, came as described. I had to soon return it because the print was too small for me. I didn't notice that as I was checking it out. I soon returned it. This seller was very good in communicating with me, taking the time to send pictures as I asked questions before make the decision. Customer service was over the top. It also came soon than expected and was wrappe perfectly. I wold 100% use this seller again!

    Value was great... The condition was as described. Seller shipped item(s) promptly, dropped off at the Post Office same day as order placed/payment went through, though it took 3 days past the longer "expected delivery" date - thanks USPS. The items were in a bubble mailer only, no additional packing material.
