outstanding - great satorical unsights

great book and take on the NY citi social scene from the point of an outsider, in this case a genuine cannibal "straight off" the dark jungles of Africa. Anyone not appreciating this book as no sense of satire or humor and I hope not to ever meet such a drab. Great entertainment.
Fun for the beach!

Cannibal in Manhattan is a comedy of manners masterpiece. Even without the keen social observations, the story would be carried by the amusing, improbable and adorable voice of the cannibal narrator. Tama Janowitz's wacky charm reminds me of Patrick Dennis, the semi-forgotten author of Auntie Mame. She's never meanspirited or condescending as she sends up human foibles. Three cheers for this unpretentiously funny little gem.
