Maiden

'Maiden is a madcap comedy about female desire . . . one of the most deliciously weird novels I've ever read'Leigh Stein, author of Self CareThirty-year-old Fortune Dundy is not ready to give up on finding True Love. Unencumbered by experience or social grace, she pursues romance through endless date-matching questionnaires and personal ads, a virginal Don Quixote in rhinestones and sequins. A flyer for a swinging singles apartment complex named Villa Dionysus beckons Fortune to Southern California, where she hopes to find love amid the sand and suntan oil. She meets a slew of desperate characters - including her roommate Biscuit, an embittered divorcee with a psychotic jealous streak; Milo, Biscuit's boorish new boyfriend; and Skip, a handsome and elusive dentist - who become ensnared in her quest for the Right One. Audacious and hilarious, Maiden is a rediscovered comic masterpiece destined to become a cult classic, and Fortune Dundy one of literature's most lovable antiheroines: hopeful, delusional, and absolutely unforgettable.
