Lafayette Proulx has quit his day job, left his wife, and hauled his dog and Royal portable across town to Judi Dubeys house, setting out at last to be a fiction writer. But things arent working out as hed anticipated. Judis dysfunctional family is unraveling; rejection letters are pouring in; and Judi has sent him to a marriage counselor to sort out his angry feelings about his wife. To make matters worse, Judi has just been diagnosed with stage IV cancer. Love Warps the Mind a Little is hilarious, deeply moving, and surely one of the untold and most original love stories of our time.
