NEW - In the tradition of classic screwball comedies and with a flair for modern-day irony, As Long As She Needs Me is a masterful satire of the publishing industry, a romp through the wedding industry, and a sparkling fable of love and luck in Manhattan. Juggling monster agents and mega-authors, passed hors-d'oeuvre options and centerpiece styles, Oscar labors to pull together his boss's wedding without falling apart in the process. Help arrives in the form of a popular wedding columnist, with whom Oscar strikes a bargain: His editorial expertise for her nuptial advice. As the two work together to manufacture the romances of others, they stumble into one themselves - a development that soon has Oscar secretly planning an event of his own. Hilarious and wise, literate and charming. ; Octavo (standard book size); 245 pages .
