Lena Finkle's Magic Barrel: A Graphic Novel

*AÂ New York TimesÂ Notable Book*

â€œFunny, painful, outrageous . . . Anya Ulinich is the David Sedaris of Russian-American cartoonists.â€
â€”Gary Shteyngart

Anya Ulinich turns her sharp eye toward the strange, often unmooring world of â€œgrown-upâ€ dating in this darkly comic graphic novel. After her fifteen-year marriage ends, Lena Finkle gets an eye-opening education in love, sex, and loss when she embarks on a string of online dates, all while raising her two teenage daughters. The Vampire of Bensonhurst, the Orphan, Disaster Man, and the Diamond Psychiatrist are just a few of the unforgettable characters she meets along the way. Evoking Louis C. K.â€™s humor and Amy Winehouseâ€™s longing and anguish, and paying homage to Malamud and Chekhov, Lena Finkleâ€™s Magic Barrel is a funny and moving story, beautifully told.
