jcp1009 's review for:
The Dud Avocado
by Elaine Dundy
What's good enough for Ernest Hemingway and Groucho Marx is good enough for me. First of all, this book is laugh out loud funny and since I read a lot of it on my commute, I became the crazy woman laughing to herself on the El. Second of all, it's really nice to read about a young woman trying to find herself in the 1950s and to constantly be on the search for freedom. It doesn't surprise me that Hemingway liked this book because in some ways it reminded me a lot of The Sun Also Rises. Young Americans are roaming around Europe trying to find/lose themselves and have some fun but become disillusioned with it all along the way. More people should know about and read this book. It's such a gem!
