On generating the perfect party in Hollywood: If celebrities don’t walk your red carpet, you don’t exist. If you don’t make Page Six, you don’t exist. To get ten celebrities to show up, invite four hundred. And send a car. Publicity is the only job you can do perfectly and still fail. And the gift bag totally matters. As the newly promoted head of event planning for one of L.A.’s top publicity firms, Alex Davidson spends her days making decisions of utmost importance: Grey Goose or Belvedere? MAC or Stila? Queen Latifah or Chloë Sevigny? And though her boyfriend, agency president Charles Evers, lives on the other coast, she could be doing worse. But leave it to her mother to point out the obvious: After one failed, childless marriage, Alex is the “career divorcée” and the antithesis of her sister, the perfect stay-at-home mom. And there’s no spin in the world that can cover up the growing rift between Alex and Charles. From dealing with outrageously self-important clients and holier-than-thou C-listers to trying to make sense of her growing attraction to a man who is not her boyfriend but her best friend, Alex feels as if she’s about one Red Bull shy of a meltdown. With her professional future hanging in the balance, she has the biggest party of the season to pull off. And the real question is: Will the gift bags measure up?
Dathra is the story of a kind hearted pretty girl from Kuwait whose qualities are hidden beneath her excessive layers of fat and shabby fashion sense. Dathra, like everyone else, is trying to live her life to the fullest and find love. Only her insatiable appetite and irresistible cravings are getting in her way and subjecting her to the scrutiny of a society where looks are everything. Both hilarious and heartbreaking, Dathra's story as a book is the child of the internet era: It was published on a blog, edited using Google, translated using Twitter, published using an online publisher, promoted using Facebook, and bought using a shopping cart application on an online website.

And Janey Martinez, once a Grade A frump, has put her inherited fortune to good use, purchasing a stunning designer wardrobe and a brand-new pair of double D’s. Only Caitlin Latch isn’t faring very well. Struggling to fit in and living well above her means to keep up appearances, the eye-catching ex is losing hope along with her cash flow.

While Caitlin is in pursuit of her future husband, her son receives wild messages from a mystery e-mailer. Who’s on the other end of the cyberlink, and what does he know about Caitlin that she would like to keep quiet? In this uproariously funny, scrumptiously snarky tale, Caitlin and the other Colina Linda exes continue their pursuit of love and lavish bank accounts. From the Trade Paperback edition.

In the exclusive southern California community of Colina Linda, money means everything. But snagging a man who has money means even more. When billionaire David Clemente files for divorce, his newly single status is the gossip among the ladies-who-lunch. Hot on the chase are four of the town’s most eligible ex-wives: peppy Lally Chandler, a former Bond girl and the queen bee of local society, with three celebrity ex-husbands in her wake; Jessica DiSantini, a lapsed lawyer and mother of two with a nice settlement from her cheating spouse and his precious collection of Cabernet to numb the pain; Caitlin Latch, a desperate-to-fit-in single mom with a body that makes Barbie look like Ken; and locally born and bred Janey Martinez, a dowdy duckling with an extensive pack of socially prominent relations. Doing whatever it takes to catch the eligible David’s attention and eliminate the competition, each woman is determined to be the first–and the last–to date Mr. (Luxury) Dreamboat. Which of the four ex-wives will find true love? The answer is revealed in this hilariously funny, sarcastically witty, and deliciously catty novel about the never-ending pursuit of happiness. Translation: an even bigger bank account. From the Trade Paperback edition.
With roots in the American South, Beth Henley (b. 1952) has for four decades been a working playwright and screenwriter. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1981 at the age of twenty-eight, Henley so far has written twenty-five produced plays that are always original, usually darkly comic, and often experimental. In these interviews, Henley speaks of the plays, from her early crowd-pleasers, Crimes of the Heart and The Miss Firecracker Contest, to her more experimental plays, including The Debutante Ball and Control Freaks, to her brilliant and time-bending play, The Jacksonian. Henley is a master at writing about the duality of human experience—the beautiful and the grotesque, the cruel and the loving. This duality provokes in Henley both amazement and compassion. She discusses here not only her admiration for Chekhov and other influences, but also her process of bringing a play from notebooks of images and bits of dialogues through rumination, writing, and rewriting to rehearsals and previews. The interviews range from 1981, just before she won the Pulitzer Prize, to 2020 and cover nearly forty years of a creative life, which, as Henley remarks in the most recent interview, is “such a life worth living: to be in tune with the creative process.”
