Miss Subways
Miss Subways: A Novel | David Duchovny
14 posts | 12 read | 29 to read
New York Times bestselling author David Duchovny reimagines the Irish mythological figure of Emer in Miss Subways, a darkly comic fantasy love story set in New York City. Emer is just a woman living in New York City who takes the subway, buys ice cream from the bodega on the corner, has writerly aspirations, and lives with her boyfriend, Con. But is this life she lives the only path shes on? Taking inspiration from the myth of Emer and Cuchulain and featuring an all-star cast of mythical figures from all over the world, David Duchovnys darkly funny fantasy novel Miss Subways is one womans trippy, mystical journey down parallel tracks of time and love. On the way, Emer will battle natural and supernatural forces to find her true voice, power, and destiny. A fairy tale of love lost and regained, Miss Subways is also a love letter to the city that enchants us all: New York.

I think @sprainedbrain is right audio is the way to go ! Duchovny reads his work in a lively, snarky style . Very fun , thought provoking & filled with love for its characters & New York City!

#JulyJam #kittenday Just so happens I have one.This is Sophie , rescued from a carpenter shop .The carpenter was trying to trap mom & babies , before he could,mamma took them away, leaving this little one behind. She had a bad leg & my friend didn‘t like her chances in the 108 degree heat.So here we are. I have room for one more.Her leg is much better, thinking it was a sprain.

Suet624 Jealous! Congrats on the new addition. 2y

Ok, I‘ve been in love with Agent Fox Mulder since the tender age of 16, but I also really like the guy that played him—and his sublime writing. This book is so good.

Emer is an unforgettable character, and this magical mythology-inspired (think American Gods) NYC fairy tale was entertaining from start to finish. Smart, edgy, and just lovely. It‘s not just a modernized story of ancient gods, it‘s a love story to NYC and our nation of immigrants.⬇️

sprainedbrain Also, the hottest FUNNY sexy scene I‘ve read in forever. I mean, I was laughing throughout the whole book, but to add such humor to sexy times and still somehow make it ?? David Duchovny can do no wrong.

Highly recommend the audio, read by Duchovny with help from Téa Leoni and their daughter, West. It‘s fab.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Described as a mix between Nick Hornby and Neil Gaiman. That sounds right up my alley. Starting this today!

Starting Part 2 and I'm still not sure how I feel about this book. It's not bad, just a little slow. Or maybe it's just me. Anyone else read this one yet?

I wasn‘t sure about this book for awhile. I didn‘t know where it was going. I really wanted to like it because I like David Duchovny. I‘m glad I stayed with it because I really enjoyed it once everything came together. Some bits were like a normal story and some were really weird. I kept thinking of the X-Files. Oh! And I humbly own a signed copy.

I loved this! Take a simple love story, throw in some gods and demons, meddling and a little fantastical lore, and you have an absolute gem. It‘s funny, sarcastic and downright awesome. Read by Duchovny in his deadpan style, and throw in the amazing voices of his ex-wife, Leoni, and his daughter, and this is a classic.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Present day story of the Irish Myth of Emer and the Cuchulian, set in New York City. A modern day fairytale romance for the oddball at heart. If the dark oddball characters or, the enchantment of NYC or the supernatural charms don't make you fall in love with this book, Duchovny humor, satire and wit will. You get to know such memorable characters as Jimmy Gunnels.Sidhe.Anansi.but the one I fell in love with is Emer.

A great book. Recommended

sprainedbrain I loved Bucky F*cking Dent so much... can‘t wait to get this one. ❤️ 6y

I‘m finally getting to experience Duchovny‘s skill as an author. I‘m loving it so far, and while continuing to listen to this #audiobook (which Duchovny reads), I decided that Ciara needed a haircut! #currentlylistening

I read this in one night. It was that good. I love mythology, and this updated version of Emer did not disappoint.
