Reviews
"Charming and funny." --The New York Times   "As hilarious as Girls' Guide is, there's a wise, serious core here." --The Wall Street Journal "A sexy, pour-your-heart-out, champagne tingle of a read--thoughtful, wise, and tell-all honest. Bank's is a voice that you'll remember for years to come." -- Cosmopolitan "Believe the hype: Jane's touching (but unsentimental) career and love trials ring true." --Glamour   "Bank writes like John Cheever, but funnier." --Los Angeles Times   "Melissa Bank accomplishes that hardest of simple things: She shows life as it is--and makes it readable." -- The Washington Post Book World   "Writing literature that mixes comedy and tragedy in the proper amounts is not an easy task. Only a handful of contemporary writers (Joseph Heller, Ann Tyler, and John Irving come to mind) can do it with any success. Whether dealing with serious issues or mundane, Bank proves that she has what it takes to stand in such august company." -- The Denver Post   "Crafted by a gifted writer, a descendant from the school of restraint whose grandfather is Hemingway and whose father is the early Raymond Carver. The presiding mother figure is Lily Tomlin." --The News and Observer   "Only a few authors have successfully blended the compressed nature of short prose with the novel's greater panorama of character. Melissa Bank brings similar energy and style to her new book." --Chicago Tribune "I read the first chapter and thought, 'Wait, I know this girl.' By the second, I realized she was my friend. She did all the things that good friends do: she made me laugh, she made me weep, and when I closed the book at the end of the day, I knew I'd never forget her." --Ruth Ozeki, New York Times bestselling author of A Tale for the Time Being and My Year of Meats   "Courageous and wise, as heartbreaking and laugh-out-loud funny as only the most deeply true fiction can be. Melissa Bank writes with a fine eye, a clean voice, and a generous heart." --Pam Houston, bestselling author of Sight Hound and Cowboys are My Weakness   "A compassionate comedy of manners, pitch-perfect . . . Bank's people are fully realized and, just like us, fond, foolish, blind, and wise by turns and in ways both tenderly familiar and refreshingly odd." --Amy Bloom, New York Times bestselling author of Away and Lucky Us, "Charming and funny." --The New York Times "As hilarious as Girls' Guide is, there's a wise, serious core here." --The Wall Street Journal "Bank draws exquisite portraits of loneliness, and can do it in a sentence." -- Newsweek "A sexy, pour-your-heart-out, champagne tingle of a read--thoughtful, wise, and tell-all honest. Bank's is a voice that you'll remember for years to come." -- Cosmopolitan "Bank writes like John Cheever, but funnier." --Los Angeles Times "Believe the hype: Jane's touching (but unsentimental) career and love trials ring true." --Glamour "Melissa Bank accomplishes that hardest of simple things: She shows life as it is--and makes it readable." -- The Washington Post "It is, for me, a near-perfect book, one that I have pressed into the hands of several female friends and recommended on lists both solicited and not. From its pages spill lightly scented wit and wisdom: How to be, how to see, how to cope. It is easily the most influential book of my third decade, and every time I reread it - or sections of it, at least - I am struck again by its neatness and completeness." --Bim Adewunmi, BuzzFeed "Writing literature that mixes comedy and tragedy in the proper amounts is not an easy task. Only a handful of contemporary writers (Joseph Heller, Ann Tyler, and John Irving come to mind) can do it with any success. Whether dealing with serious issues or mundane, Bank proves that she has what it takes to stand in such august company." -- The Denver Post "Crafted by a gifted writer, a descendant from the school of restraint whose grandfather is Hemingway and whose father is the early Raymond Carver.

Synopsis
The New York Times bestselling classic of a young woman's journey in work, love, and life "In this swinging, funny, and tender study of contemporary relationships, Bank refutes once and for all the popular notions of neurotic thirtysomething women." --Entertainment Weekly "Truly poignant." -- Time Generous-hearted and wickedly insightful, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing maps the progress of Jane Rosenal as she sets out on a personal and spirited expedition through the perilous terrain of sex, love, relationships, and the treacherous waters of the workplace. Soon Jane is swept off her feet by an older man and into a Fitzgeraldesque whirl of cocktail parties, country houses, and rules that were made to be broken, but comes to realize that it's a world where the stakes are much too high for comfort. With an unforgettable comic touch, Bank skillfully teases out universal issues, puts a clever new spin on the mating dance, and captures in perfect pitch what it's like to come of age as a young woman.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Melissa Bank is here to stay after this book!

    LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT!! It is hard to believe the quality from such a young, first time author. Her style is what I term "girlfriend" writing. You almost feel that you are hearing her story over coffee or a glass of wine in person with her. This is one you'll try to read all in one sitting! Although there are adequate stop points as she offers this up as four separate essays, essentially covering four huge life events. Go ahead and get her second book at the same time, because once you finish this one you won't want to wait to start the next!

  • Pleasantly Surprised Literary Chick Lit

    I am not a big fan of chick lit. I may read one after I read something "heavier" as if to clean the palate. Yikes that sounds obnoxious! This book is marketed as one, of course when this was first published in 1999 the term was not widely used and this book became the one to make it popular. But it doesn ot read like regular chick lit. It is more literary, has more depth and is not trying to be Sex and the City - like tons of chick lit books try to be. Girl's Guide reads like a memoir. You get different stages in the main character's development, both emotional and professional, in short story-like chapters. Each chapter stands alone and some have been published as short stories in periodicals. Story is simple enough, girl trying to figure out love, relationships and what she wants to ...
