Notes

Description
"Divorced and childless by choice, Hana P.--the metafictional version--has built a cozy life in Lexington, Kentucky, teaching at the flagship university, living with a fellow academic, and helping raise his pre-teen daughter. ... One day, Hana learns that an unflattering version of herself will appear prominently ... in her ex-husband's debut novel. For a week, her life continues largely unaffected by the news, ... but the morning after baking mac 'n' cheese from scratch for her nephew's sixth birthday, she wakes up changed. The contentment she's long been enjoying is gone. In its place: nothing. A remarkably ridiculous mid-life crisis ensues, featuring a talking cat, a visit to the dean's office, a shadowy figure from the past, a Greek-like chorus of indignant students whose primary complaints concern Hana's auto-fictional narrative, and a game called Dead Body"--,Provided by publisher.
