Book description
Arlene is a dried-up, but extremely successful Dublin theatrical agent, prone to drinking pints of whiskey and lying on her office floor a lot. She used to be married to Dick, 'Call me Richard’, Whelan, now a big B-list personality, whom she wants to star in a play by her new discovery, up-and-coming waif Isobel Coole.
But Isobel falls in love with Dick – not a meeting of minds – and the loveless Arlene is rescused from her barren existence by the man from the local deli, who has been making weird phone calls to her for months … Curtains wickedly explores the vanity, callowness but ultimately endearing fragility of human nature.
