Cooperative Village


by: Madeson, Frances
( 2007, 248 p. )
Reviewed by: Linda Knorr
Genre(s): Fiction, Humorous
Check availability in the catalog:

Mrs. Plotsky has been lying dead on the laundry room floor all night when a neighbor discovers her body. Conscientious Frances hates to leave a mess so she stuffs Mrs. Plotsky into one of the washing machines - thank goodness for those double load machines that the cooperative purchased - and runs Mrs. P. through the gentle cycle. Not gentle enough apparently, so Frances manages to stuff her into a dryer on the lowest setting to fluff her up a bit.

Thus starts a hilarious chain of events involving Frances, Mrs. Plotsky, the New York City Library, and the Patriot Act.

How did I miss this book when it was first issued in 2007?

Darkly funny. My kind of humor.
