Shopgirl: A Novella

"Shopgirl has some of Chekhov's autumn light about it: a story remembering all the really fine recent things." -- Talk"Shopgirl is an Audrey Hepburn of a book: slim, lovely, and ever so old-fashioned." -- People"Shopgirl reads as smoothly and pleasurably as the novels of the late W.M. Spackman . . ." -- Los Angeles Times"A delicate, poignant modern romance about a shy shopgirl." -- Richard Corliss, Time magazine"A tender love story." -- Entertainment Weekly"His prose is almost Zen-like and his revelations superb." -- New York Post"It's the signature combination of exhilaration and vulnerability that Martin offers us with extraordinary confidence." -- Elle"Steve Martin's most achieved work to date." -- New York Times"The book is like one of Mirabelle's sketches: small, deft, pensive, poignant -- a moving still life." -- Time magazine"Wryly omniscient, ruthlessly truthful, [Martin] calls to mind Austen with an up-to-date, masculine spin." -- Vogue
