Following on from the successs of the hilarious The Locklear Letters (MacAdam/Cage 2003), Michael Kun returns with his new novel My Wife And My Dead Wife, a witty look at the life of Hamilton Ashe, an Atlanta tailor, with little ambition other than to be happy.His goals however are thwarted by his ex-wife, a childhood prank gone awry and a live-in girlfriend who has unrealistic goals of being a country and western singer and whose songs are downright dreadful -- often hilariously so. To make matters worse she has started to tell everyone that they're married, even though he knows they most certainly are not.Between a girlfriend whose songs can make a grown man cry and a boss who refuses to call him by his given name -- he calls him Salami instead of Ham -- his frustrations begin to rise. However, it is only after his girlfriend leaves him and he starts dating again that he begins to understand what she was singing about and that she really is what he wants in his life.Written with Kun's characteristic charm and humor My Wife And My Dead Wife is a tribute to lost men everywhere.
