Críticas

"I loved this novel--it's totally brilliant--witty and mordant....I thought Willett couldn't top Winner of the National Book Award, but I was wrong--this one definitely does." --Nancy Pearl "Willett uses her charmingly filterless heroine as a mouthpiece to slam a parade of thinly veiled literati and media personalities with riotous accuracy, but she balances the snark with moments of poignancy." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The books of Jincy Willett are a delicious secret--witty, clever, ironic, funny. Her new novel, Amy Falls Down, pokes fun at our world of instant celebrity and buzz." --Minneapolis Star Tribune "Jincy Willett is hilarious, witty, and compelling....Put Amy Falls Down on the top of your list." --The Providence Journal

Reseña del editor

The endearingly bitter writer, Amy Gallup has happily isolated herself from the world spending the last two decades teaching and reviewing - she's done a lot of thinking...but very little writing. On an unassuming morning, in her slippers, Amy trips in her backyard, goes head-over-heels, and into the side of a birdbath. The hospital clears her of head injury - so Amy returns home. When a local reporter shows up for a scheduled interview - Amy is not quite herself. The article paints Amy as a the zen-goddess of writing, publishing...and life. Her bizarre interview was interpreted as the rambling of a true genius. But all that really happened was: Amy fell down! The next thing she knows, friends and fans are coming out of the woodwork. Suddenly Amy is on radio shows, keynoting a major publishing event, and guiding a local writers' retreat. But the strangest thing of all: Amy starts to write.
