summer read: the dud avocado

August 14, 2008  11:35 am

If you’re looking for an easy read and don’t feel quite vegetative enough to sink to airport potboiler level, try Elaine Dundy’s "The Dud Avocado" (NYRB Classics). Published in 1958, it tells the story of one Sally Jay Gorce, American girl on the loose in Paris. But the clichés end there—even when she’s exasperating, Sally’s a charming and unconventional companion, perfect for whiling away a few hours in the shade with. And if that’s not endorsement enough, here’s what Groucho Marx had to say about the book: "It made me laugh, scream, and guffaw (which incidentally, is a great name for a law firm)."

—Nancy MacDonell
