A wildly original debut, Maynard and Jennica is both a
hilarious urban comedy and a captivating love story. In the summer
of 2000, while riding the uptown number 6 train, the
musician/filmmaker Maynard Gogarty first encounters the beautiful
Jennica Green.Though their initial meeting is brief, when fate next
brings them together a romance ensues, and as with most things in
life, everyone has an opinion.Delson tells the story of this
improbable love affair through the voices of Maynard and Jennica,
along with their family, friends, and assorted characters (among
them two attorneys, three journalists, and a rap star) pulled into
their dizzying orbit.He brings to life a pair of lovers who are
flawed, complex, at once eccentric and deeply familiar--and in
whose story we continue to feel invested long after we've turned
the last page.In the words of Mohsin Hamid, author of The Reluctant
Fundamentalist, "this book is the reason we should all read first
novels."
