Also by Francine Prose. They were always telling Lula she should write a memoir about her old Albanian life and now her new one in the United States. Don even had a title, My New American Life. Chapter One. The day after Lula’s lawyer called to tell her she was legal, three Albanian guys showed up in a brand-new black Lexus SUV. She had been staring out her window at the drizzly afternoon and thinking that the mulberry tree on Mister Stanley’s front lawn had waited to drop its last few leaves until it knew she was watching. Lula had a better title, Stranger in a Strange Land, but she’d already seen it in the public library. Maybe she could still use it.

My New American Life. Prose’s characters in MY NEW AMERICAN LIFE are complex and brilliantly drawn (culturally distinct but without the usual clichés). Prose is dazzling in her sixteenth book of spiky fiction, a fast-flowing, bittersweet, brilliantly satirical immigrant story that subtly embodies the cultural complexity and political horrors of the Balkans and Bush-Cheney America. Simon Van Booy, Bomb Magazine. Nothing is beyond the artistic reach of Francine Prose - Shelf Awareness. A tangy mixture of satire and sentiment.
