Shriver's sharp, satiric fiction has tackled complex, even terrifying, issues from health care to terrorism to school shootings. Her twelfth novel is a story of family, consumption, and ultimatums, centering on Pandora, who loves to cook; her husband, a compulsive exerciser who no longer eats as much as he used to; and Pandora's once-svelte, now obese, pianist brother, who comes to visit and won't leave.

Excellent writer - intelligent, witty, observant. She comes across as grounded and sensible as well. Have read two of her books; will read more.

I have read 'The Mandibles' twice, you should read it now, if you haven't already. I believe it to be the most important book in these times of geopolitical upheaval. 'Hope for the best, prepare for the worst' is a phrase that is particularly relevant.

Has anyone noticed how obsessed the MSM is fixated on age, nearly every person identified by name has a number as a suffix placed after their names. Is it just in case the readers might think that they were reading about another of the same name?

Lionel’s voice sounds older than she looks.
