Augusta Played: A Novel

by Kelly Cherry

Augusta, is an elegant young flutist preparing for her debut at Town Hall. In this splendid comedy, she is joined by a cast of wonderfully absurd characters--her husband, his father, her ex-lover, a nightclub stripper, a peeping Tom, and a canary. Within the scope of these characters, the author reflects on love, marriage, family, art, and captures the way men and women relate--or fail to relate--to one another.
