Ten North Frederick: National Book Award Winner (Penguin Classics)

The National Book Awardâ€“winning novel by the writer whom Fran Lebowitz called â€œthe real F. Scott Fitzgeraldâ€

Joe Chapin led a storybook life. A successful small-town lawyer with a beautiful wife, two over-achieving children, and aspirations to be president, he seemed to have it all. But as his daughter looks back on his life, a different man emerges: one in conflict with his ambitious and shrewish wife, terrified that the misdeeds of his children will dash his political dreams, and in love with a model half his age. With black wit and penetrating insight, Ten North Frederick stands with Richard Yatesâ€™ Revolutionary Road, Evan S. Connellâ€™s Mr. Bridge and Mrs. Bridge, the stories of John Cheever, and Mad Men as a brilliant portrait of the personal and political hypocrisy of mid-century America.
