Fiction
Mindy Solomon absolutely has to leave Miami. Florida is bad
for her head and her hair. She dreams of a dancing career on
Broadway and moves to New York, but after a string of
failures and mishaps, she realizes that she needs to rethink
her grand plan. Finding herself spending way too much time
in the comedy club where her future ex-boyfriend works, she
nervously goes up onstage one night. People laugh. Not in
the places where Mindy thought they'd laugh, but hey, it's a
start. Mindy and her friend Ursula Duran, a
man-magnet model-slash-actress-slash-deeply troubled woman,
soon embark on a wild ride that ricochets from New York's
East Side Hotel for Women to the comedy circuit, auditions,
photo shoots, film premieres, cable TV specials, Hollywood
studios, late-night TV talk shows, and beyond. Surrounded by
sleazy agents, sleazier lovers, and Ursula's even sleazier
mother, the two find that life writes a few punch lines they
weren't expecting...but through it all, they somehow manage
to have the last laugh. Rita Rudner has crafted a
debut novel that is not just funny, but moving and
insightful. With its insider's viewpoint of the world of
stand-up comedy, Tickled Pink is also, at its core, a
touching tale of love, loss, female friendship, and forgiveness.
