As with Nora Ephron’s Heartburn…you read Maggie to spend time with its author.” —The Washington Post A Chinese American woman spins tragedy into comedy when her life falls apart in a taut, wry debut novel that grapples with grief, motherhood, and myths—perfect for fans of Joan Is Okay and Crying in H Mart.A man and a woman walk into a restaurant. The woman expects a lovely night filled with endless plates of samosas. Instead, she finds out her husband is having an affair with a woman named Maggie. A short while after, her chest starts to ache. She walks into an examination room, where she finds out the pain in her breast isn’t just heartbreak—it’s cancer. She decides to call the tumor Maggie. Unfolding in fragments over the course of the ensuing months, Maggie; Or, a Man and a Woman Walk Into a Bar follows the narrator as she embarks on a journey of grief, healing, and reclamation. She starts talking to Maggie (the tumor), getting acquainted with her body’s new inhabitant. She overgenerously creates a “Guide to My Husband: A User’s Manual” for Maggie (the other woman), hoping to ease the process of discovering her ex-husband’s whims and quirks. She turns her children’s bedtime stories into retellings of Chinese folklore passed down by her own mother, in an attempt to make them fall in love with their shared culture—and to maybe save herself in the process. In the style of Jenny Offill and the tradition of Nora Ephron’s hilarious and devastating writing on heartbreak and womanhood, Maggie is a master class in transforming personal tragedy into a form of defiant comedy.

Mit ihrem Mann Sam und ihren zwei Kindern führt die namenlose Protagonistin ein glückliches Leben in Brooklyn – bis er ihr eines Abends in einem Restaurant eröffnet, dass er eine Affäre mit einer Frau namens Maggie hat. In den darauffolgenden Tagen spürt sie immer wieder ein Stechen in ihrer Brust, und die Diagnose bringt Gewissheit: Es ist nicht nur der Liebeskummer, sondern ein Tumor. Während sie durch Strahlentherapien und Scheidungsformalitäten navigiert, die Dynamiken ihrer interkulturellen Ehe reflektiert und irgendwie versucht, mit all dieser Tragik umzugehen, beginnt sie, mit ihrem Tumor zu sprechen. Schließlich gibt sie dem Krebs einen Namen: MAGGIE. Mit großem literarischem Feingefühl und einer brillanten Beobachtungsgabe erzählt Katie Yee von Mutterschaft, Krankheit, Trauer und Interkulturalität. »Eine eindringliche Erkundung des Zusammenbruchs einer Frau, deren Leben durch ein Geständnis aus den Fugen gerät. Katie Yee spinnt eine Geschichte voller komplexer Gefühle und subtilen Verrats, und zeigt ihr feines Gespür für die Nuancen menschlicher Beziehungen und die stillen, oft übersehenen Momente des Lebens. Jeder Satz ist perfekt.« Weike Wang
