Diary Of A Mad Housewife

Description for DIARY OF A MAD HOUSEWIFE by Sue Kaufman:

When Bettina Balser begins to suspect that she is going mad, she starts a secret diary as a form of therapy and escape. Her fears pour onto the page: Elevators, subways, bridges, tunnels, high places, low places, tightly enclosed spaces, boats, cars, planes, trains, crowds. . . . Through her observations of herself and those around her, Bettina seeks meaning in her exceedingly dreary life. Her frank examinations lead to many changes, including an extramarital fling, and her voice touches a timeless nerve, resonating on many levels--from the ever-evolving feminist consciousness to the gnawing existential search that is universal.

DIARY OF A MAD HOUSEWIFE'S humor and insight are as alive and pertinent today as they were yesterday, and will charm and disarm men and women of any generation.
