Fiction
Harriet is leaving her boyfriend Claude, “the French rat.”
That at least is how Harriet sees things, even if it’s
Claude who has just asked Harriet to leave his Greenwich
Village apartment. Well, one way or another she has no
intention of leaving. To the contrary, she will stay and
exact revenge—or would have if Claude had not had her
unceremoniously evicted. Still, though moved out, Harriet is
not about to move on. Not in any way. Girlfriends circle
around to patronize and advise, but Harriet only takes
offense, and it’s easy to understand why. Because mad and
maddening as she may be, Harriet sees past the polite
platitudes that everyone else is content to spout and live
by. She is an unblinkered, unbuttoned, unrelenting, and
above all bitingly funny prophetess of all that is wrong
with women’s lives and hearts—until, in a surprise twist,
she finds a savior in a dark room at the Chelsea Hotel.
