Sex Lives Of Our Parents - Paperback

Virginia is getting married. As her wedding day approaches, unwanted ghosts of her mother's past appear, unearthing a shocking past she never knew - nor wanted to. A comic nightmare about the mysterious hollows between parents and children and things that may be better left unsaid. "... from the delightful opening pantomime, set to a recording of Frank Sinatra singing 'If I Had You, ' of a young couple meeting, courting, and deciding to marry, it's clear that a refreshingly original sensibility is at work. Mitnick has a lot more on his mind than obvious laughs in this consistently inventive and surprising comedy-drama." -Erik Haagensen, Backstage "Mitnick seems to be the rare young playwright more interested in his elders than in his contemporaries." -Alexis Soloski, Village Voice "Mitnick displays classy wit, gentle humanity, and flashes of formal innovation." -Scott Brown, New York
