: :
: From a prizewinning young writer, a brilliant and inventive story of love, :
: lies, and inspiration. :
: :
: Fairy-tale romances end with a wedding, and the fairy tales don't get :
: complicated. In this book, the celebrated writer Mr. Fox can't stop himself:
: from killing off the heroines of his novels, and neither can his wife, :
: Daphne. It's not until Mary, his muse, comes to life and transforms him :
: from author into subject that his story begins to unfold differently. :
: :
: Mary challenges Mr. Fox to join her in stories of their own devising; and :
: in different times and places, the two of them seek each other, find each :
: other, thwart each other, and try to stay together, even when the roles :
: they inhabit seem to forbid it. Their adventures twist the fairy tale into :
: nine variations, exploding and teasing conventions of genre and romance, :
: and each iteration explores the fears that come with accepting a lifelong :
: bond. Meanwhile, Daphne becomes convinced that her husband is having an :
: affair, and finds her way into Mary and Mr. Fox's game. And so Mr. Fox is :
: offered a choice: :
: Will it be a life with the girl of his dreams, or a life with an :
: all-too-real woman who delights him more than he cares to admit? :
: :
: The extraordinarily gifted Helen Oyeyemi has written a love story like no :
: other. Mr. Fox is a magical book, endlessly inventive, as witty and :
: charming as it is profound in its truths about how we learn to be with one :
: another. :
