Guest of a sinner : a novel

"It is 22 cats that drive the dazzlingly handsome Eric Thorsen to distraction and into the apartment-if not immediately the arms-of Wanda Skopinski, the rather mousy woman he meets at church when she thrusts a lesbian romance novel upon him. The stench from downstairs drives him from both his rent-controlled apartment and his complacency as a not-quite-successful piano teacher. In his sixth novel, James Wilcox moves beyond the modern South he has etched so vividly and amusingly in the past to take on Manhattan. But somehow he manages to bring the city down to size. ... The book is filled wit.

  • "Everything had been going well for him, until the cats - and that rather mousy woman. True, at forty-two, Eric Thorsen may not have quite lived up to his promise as a pianist, but accompanying struggling dance troupes and doing a bit of teaching kept him in practice. True, while he couldn't seem to commit himself to a relationship, any number of women, nonplussed by his astonishing good looks, offered steady distraction. And true, if life in Manhattan had become the usual series of confrontations with confusingly trendy restaurants and unintelligible immigrants, at least he had a ridiculously affordable apartment."
