Author:Anne Tourney
nfogeek Jordi can't break her addiction to her loaded laptop, her favorite source of secondhand stimulation. But when her laptop is stolen she's forced to get her fix at the library's computer terminals, and there she stumbles across a blog recounting the sexual adventures of a sultry love-addict called Dana. Jordi's and Dana's identity begin to mesh in bizarre ways and Jordi finds herself falling for Nolan, the insanely hot, renegade library page who's trying to help her figure out how she's connected to Dana. She's also drawn into a series of intense mind games with Steffan, an elusive older man who works at the reference desk and leads a secret life of his own. Meanwhile, Dana's adventures are growing wilder by the day, and Jordi can't stop slipping in to Dana's world to sample its stolen delights. Soon Jordi is way too busy to question her borrowed identity . . . until Dana steps up to reclaim it. Will Jordi be able to go back to the realities of flesh-life - and the possibility of true love - after spending time in Dana's sexy virtual skin?
absolutely delectable
—— SexHerald.coman erotic classic . . . I love the way Tourney describes female desire
—— Januarymagazine.comDespite an awkward start, it makes an uncomplicated, easily digestible, cheering read: so it's perhaps unsurprising that it became the best-selling French novel of 2008, moving over half a million copies and being translated into 32 languages
—— James Urquhart , IndependentIt is a confident author who works with a large cast of characters, and in many instances - notably the children - Gavalda nails it
—— Lee Randall , The ScotsmanGavalda's touching writing makes what could have been a melancholy text into a beautifully insightful novel.
—— Eve Middleton , Living FranceThe book is original and wildly ambitious... his (Rich) inventiveness is joyous
—— Catherine Taylor , The GuardianIf ambition alone wins prizes, Nathaniel Rich's mantelpiece should be creaking by the end of the year
—— Adrian Turpin , Financial TimesRich's novel reads a little like a hybrid of The New York Trilogy and Up the Faraway Tree, with frequent appearances of wood sprites and other forest-dwelling creatures. The fantasy element develops throughout and Rich is at his most successful in the throes of it, building towards his mad denouement. Like with many debuts, there is a little too much going on, but it is original and intelligent, and Rich is an elegant writer with a great deal of promise. He is definitely one to watch
—— Francesca Segal , The ObserverHugely inventive and playful debut
—— EsquireImaginatively folkloric...the experience of sharing in its feverish tussling with ideas is consistently exuberant
—— The Los Angeles Times Book ReviewWhen Rich writes of his characters, their affections, their impulses and failings, he writes generously and movingly...Surprising friendships, small intimacies of fidelity and kindness, large gestures of joy: The Mayor's Tongue does all these so well, pointing the way to Nathaniel Rich's promise as a fiction writer
—— The New York Times Book ReviewThe Mayor's Tongue is a spare masterpiece of postmodernism, an incisive fable whose myriad threads of plot and thought take the inhibitions of our era to task and make Rich's first novel a New York Trilogy for the new millennium
—— The Boston GlobeThe sheer inventiveness is hard to resist
—— James Purdon , ObserverIntriguing debut
—— The TimesThere's plenty here to pull you in and, it must be said, I do really like the cover
—— meandmybigmouth BlogStories, generations and nationalities collide in what is an entertaining and superior novel
—— Lesley McDowell , Independent on Sunday
