Praise for THE MIDDLESTEINS

Grantland - October Book Recommendations
After 30 years of marriage, Richard Middlestein leaves his wife Edie, a lawyer whose lifelong love of food has slowly but surely pushed her weight above 350 pounds. This is the setup for The Middlesteins, an honest, hilarious portrait of a fractured Jewish family in the Midwest. Throughout September, I’d recommended the book to friends as a funnier, shorter Jonathan Franzen novel.

The Middlesteins is Attenberg’s fourth book, and this one is generating a ton of buzz — of course, no hyped dysfunctional family story would be complete without a blurb from The Franzen: “The Middlesteins had me from its very first pages, but it wasn’t until its final pages that I fully appreciated the range of Attenberg’s sympathy and the artistry of her storytelling.”
