321764 Hi all,

This one is driving me nuts. There was a book published in the late 70s or early 80s that was a light, gossipy but clever comic novel entirely written in (I think) iambic pentameter. IIRC, it came out around the same time as The Serial: A Year in the Life of Marin County, , by Cyra Mcfadden and was similar in tone.

Anyone remember this book?

321764 Yes I do!

Wow, is there some kind of record time for solving book queries in this group? I've been trying to think of the name of that book for about 10 years and you solved it in 20 minutes.

Thank you!

Ko
