HTML:<b>A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR • "Sublime." —<i>New York Times Book Review</i></b><br /> <b>"Brilliantly sharp, funny, and thought-provoking, the gripping story of a woman trying to find her way in our chaotic world." —Madeline Miller, bestselling author of <i>Circe</i></b><br /> Broke English teacher Penelope Schleeman is as surprised as anyone when her feminist, eco-warrior novel <i>American Mermaid</i> becomes a best-seller. But when Hollywood insists she convert her fierce, androgynous protagonist into to a teen sex object in a clamshell bra, strange things start to happen. Is Penelope losing her mind, or has her fictional mermaid come to life, enacting revenge against society’s limited view of what a woman can and should be?  <br /> <i>American Mermaid</i> follows a young woman braving the casual slights and cruel calculations of a winner-take-all society and discovering a beating heart in her own fiction: a new kind of hero who fights to keep her voice and choose her place. A hilarious story about deep things, <i>American Mermaid</i> asks how far we’ll go to protect the parts of ourselves that are not for sale.
