Ann Tenna
Ann Tenna: A novel | Marisa Acocella Marchetto
4 posts | 4 read | 2 to read
From the celebrated New Yorker cartoonist and acclaimed author of Cancer Vixen, a brilliant, funny, and wildly imaginative first novel: the story of an influential gossip columnist brought face-to-face with her higher selfand a challenge to change her life for the better. Glamorous, superconnected Ann Tenna is the founder of Eyemauler, a New York City-based Web site thats always the first to dish the most up-to-the-minute dirt on celebrities and ordinary folks alike. Ann has ascended to the zenith of the New York media scene, attended by groups of grovelers all too willing to be trampled on by her six-inch Giuseppe Zanottis if it means better seats at the table. But as high as her success has taken her, Ann has actually fallen farvery farfrom her true self. It takes a near-fatal freak accident on her birthdayApril Fools Dayand an intervention from her cosmic double in a realm beyond our own to make Ann realize the full cost of the humanity she has lost. Told with laugh-out-loud humor, spot-on dialogue (including via cameo appearances from Coco Chanel, Gianni Versace, and Jimi Hendrix, to name just a few), and stunning, full-color artwork, Ann Tenna is a timely, necessary tale for our overly media-cated times: the newest, much-anticipated adventure from a supremely gifted artist at the height of her powers. From the Hardcover edition.

Mehso-so

This was a good read to distract me from all the talking on the commuter train. I thought it a little dark at times but it did have a comedic element. I like the author and will continue to read her work.

I hate giving up on comics as they're usually quick reads but the style of the artwork wasn't for me and I didn't like the gossip site storyline so I decided to bail on this one!

Weird art style that was kind of visually-appealing after a while...but the storyline was weird and the ending was weirder lol
