Publisher Description
A big, funny, engaging, unsentimental and sometimes even wise book...Delightful."—New York Post
Author of Lookaway, Lookaway
Wilton Barnhardt's novel of coming of age in New York City brims with energy, surprise, irresistible humor, and the heady rush of youth. Its hero, Gil Freeman, a midwestern aspiring actor, comes to the city in search of stardom—but instead encounters the perils of Alphabet City, the desperation of off-off-off-Broadway theater...and the exhilarating, exasperating, absolutely unique Emma, around whom his life comes to turn. Charming and engaging, quintessentially American, Emma Who Saved My Life is one of the extraordinary fiction debuts of our time.

Great Book
For anyone seeing this bargain book and wondering whether to drop $3.99 for it - by all means, do so. I read this book 20 years ago for the first time and have read it twice since. I believe it will stand the test of time and still make you laugh out loud but also see yourself in various characters. Bernhardt has done much else since, but I love this book.
