If Marge Simpson, after she married Homer and had kids went back to Arty Ziff, this would be that book. But instead Arty is a narcissistic asshole, abusive (possibly murderer) and obsessed with controlling and “owning” Marge. The book is awful. There is no peace for the characters who are abused and no conclusion to the actual story other than Arty finally dies and it‘s in the stupidest possible way. I hated every second of it. Not worth a star.
