The Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy

4.0

Enormously charming and utterly low stakes. This is basically a screwball comedy with a narrative voice to match. Perfectly balances a fundamental ditziness with self-aware commentary that had me chuckling the entire time. Glamorous and tawdry, it does get kind of dark at the end in a way that the material doesn't really handle (or maybe just aged very oddly), but it's not enough to ruin the pleasures of this little romp.
