Laurie Notaro: Spooky Little Girl

Start: 04/28/2010 7:00 pm

The always-hilarious Laurie Notaro (The Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death, I Thought You’d Be Thinner) visits with her novel, Spooky Little Girl. Lucy Fisher comes home one day to find everything she owns on her front lawn, the locks changed, and her fiancé’s phone disconnected. Plus, she’s just lost her job. Then things take an even more dramatic turn: A fatal encounter with public transportation lands Lucy not in the hereafter but in the nearly hereafter. She’s back in school, learning the parameters of spooking and how to become a successful spirit in order to complete a ghostly assignment. Navigating the perilous channels of the paranormal, Lucy is determined to find out why her life crumbled and why, despite her ghastly death, no one seems to have noticed she’s gone. But urgency on the spectral plane—in the departed person of her feisty grandmother, who is risking both their eternal lives—requires attention, and Lucy realizes that you get only one chance to be spectacular in death.
