Seven Stories About Tammy

“A brilliant piece of writing. This book is so funny, profound, and short that you may just want to read it over again, immediately, as I did.”—Maureen Corrigan, NPR’s Fresh Air

“Positively delicious.”—Kate Tuttle, Boston Globe

Morris Harkin brings his new girlfriend Tammy to meet his family. She is not at all who they expected. But who, really, is Tammy? Across seven vignettes, in Elizabeth McCracken's witty and tender fashion, we see Tammy through the eyes of the Harkin family throughout the years, and a picture of an insecure and unhappy family emerges.
