Product Description
Marlene D. Morèl is an emotionally troubled Chinese-American teenage girl growing up in Utopia—Zurich, Switzerland. To avoid her drunk, abusive father, who is the Swiss version of Oscar Wilde and her American mother, a has-been soap opera star, who has no interest in her chubby, slant-eyed daughter, Marlene spends most of her time hiding inside the warehouse, which houses the family business, Morèl Theatrical Costumier.

Preferring life among mannequins, props and costumes, Marlene has created over the years, a life of make-believe, where her imagination runs rampant. Trouble is, unbeknownst to her, she’s also created an alter-ego named Bad Egg who happens to be a ‘toon’ and who wants to eliminate Marlene’s personality all together. And to make things worse, Bad Egg has also created an alter-ego ego in the form of Kali, the Hindu Goddess of Sex and Destruction who plans on murdering Marlene’s abusive father.

Between these three out of control personalities, not to mention, Marlene’s difficult circumstances with both parents, the poor girl ends up in a mental institution.

With the help of a Jungian psychologist named Dr. Karin Sommerfeldt, Marlene D. Morèl’s multiple act of misfits finally become solo again.

Deflection of Pig-Ponies is a cross between the films, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and American Beauty. ... Read more

My little guy likes the big cheese
My little son, nearly four, really enjoys this book.I checked it out from the library and he wants to read it nearly every night.(It's now on his Amazon wish list.)

The story is actually pretty fun to read... I haven't gotten tired of it.More than any of his other books, it's written in such a way that I easily slip into the characters while reading.I find myself automatically reading it with exaggerated emphasis and slipping into a cheesy New Yorker accent.Highly recommended. ...

Extrait : Gillian Leigh Anderson est une actrice américaine née le 9 août 1968 à Chicago, dans l'Illinois (États-Unis). Elle est surtout connue pour son rôle de l'Agent Dana Scully dans la série télévisée américaine The X-Files (1993-2002) et son rôle de Lady Dedlock dans la série anglaise de la BBC, Bleak House. À l'âge de deux ans elle emménage à Londres où elle passe son enfance. Ce n'est qu'à l'adolescence qu'elle regagne les États-Unis. Elle s'installe dans le Michigan. À l'école, elle est victime de moqueries à cause de son accent anglais. Elle se rebelle et sort avec un chanteur punk de 20 ans. Elle se teint les cheveux, porte des tenues plutôt provocantes... Elle se découvre une passion pour le théâtre et sort diplômée de l'université dramatique de Chicago. Elle part pour New York et gagne sa vie comme serveuse tout en jouant dans de petites pièces. Elle déménage à Los Angeles pour tenter de percer dans le métier tout en refusant obstinément tout rôle à la télévision. Finalement, après une rencontre avec Chris Carter, elle accepte le rôle de Dana Scully dans The X-Files, aux côtés de David Duchovny. Durant la première saison, elle épouse Clyde Klotz, le directeur artistique. Elle tombe enceinte la même année. Elle n'est pas remplacée pour autant.
