The Dud Avocado by Elaine Dundy

3.0

Funny - I don't know that Elaine Dundy's The Dud Avocado quite lives up to the hype (the introduction describes it as the great continuously lost and refound classic), but there's enough exuberant charm and standout moments in this take on Paris that time with this novel is time well spent. The Paris itself is exquisitely captured as farce and fantasy. A great book to give to a young person spending time there abroad.
