Twenty-two-year-old MacGregor West, orphaned as a boy, is on a quest: to understand the circumstances of his mother’s untimely death. On a foggy San Francisco evening, guided by an old stack of envelopes, Mac finds himself at the mansion of cultural icon Charles Ware, where he encounters the writer’s beautiful and enigmatic daughter, Carolyn, trapped in a fold-up bed. Upon freeing her, Mac plunges headlong into the world of the eccentric Ware family and a love affair with a woman whose murky history may be closely linked to his own. MacGregor Tells the World is a poignant and often hilarious ride through present-day San Francisco, a city brimming with memorable characters who help Mac discover just what story is his to tell. Praise for Elizabeth McKenzie’s Stop That Girl “Elizabeth McKenzie is an accomplished humorist and a developed stylist, and she wastes no time dazzling the reader with her clean direct language, her simple but searing use of metaphor and her unflinching eye.” –The New York Times Book Review “Single-handedly reinvigorate[s] the coming-of-age genre. . . . Here is a writer to watch, and a book to breeze through with glee.” –San Francisco Chronicle 1114593 12 6 2007 MacGregor Tells the World: A Novel total:24|5:5|4:6|3:8|2:4|1:1| 24 82 36 6 3 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Sep 13 08:08:33 -0700 2007 Tue Sep 25 00:38:37 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Dec 08 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 11:07:29 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 11:10:36 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Thu Feb 26 11:58:36 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 26 11:59:02 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 20 08:43:42 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 20 08:44:32 -0800 2008 2 0 false false Tue Nov 20 16:47:47 -0800 2007 Tue Mar 18 17:23:08 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jan 15 16:15:54 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 11:13:02 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 15 16:15:41 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Nov 09 21:08:36 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 21:08:36 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Mon Sep 28 22:07:36 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 27 18:34:35 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 22:07:36 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 03 17:03:57 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 03 17:03:57 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 27 14:06:53 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 14:07:16 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Feb 25 21:56:44 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 25 21:56:44 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Sun Feb 22 14:14:10 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 14:14:10 -0800 2009 1 0 false false Fri Jan 23 17:05:47 -0800 2009 Sat May 30 19:49:01 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Jan 30 08:43:49 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 13:04:38 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 30 08:43:49 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 14 10:39:58 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 10:39:58 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 21 05:56:52 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 21 05:56:54 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Sep 26 21:40:37 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 26 21:40:37 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Fri Jul 18 10:59:53 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 22 10:37:44 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Jul 07 17:22:53 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 17:22:53 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jul 05 19:17:17 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 05 19:17:17 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1127420
