About this ebook
The Booker Prize nominee’s quirky novel about a man and woman trading bodies, supplemented with her personal commentary: “Tremendously fun to read.”—Booklist
Described as a “reality novel,” Mantrapped reveals, in alternating chapters, personal reflections and observations of the acclaimed author Fay Weldon and the fictional story of a broke, fortysomething woman who brushes past a handsome male newspaper editor—and in that moment, mysteriously switches souls with him.
A follow-up to Weldon’s autobiographical Auto da Fay, this creative concoction reminds us why the author of The Life and Loves of a She-Devil and dozens of other works is so renowned for her “piercing, insightful, razor-like wit” (The Washington Post), especially when it comes to the battle of the sexes.
“She’s just so good...Weldon’s extraordinary wit and insight ricochet through these pages.”—The Baltimore Sun
“If you can just keep up with Weldon’s madcap journey, Mantrapped is more than worth the trip.”—O, the Oprah Magazine
