...show picks up with the characters somewhat over a year after we left them. Erstwhile hippie Janice (Aida Turturro) is settling into domestic life as a Mafia wife. Daughter Meadow (Jamie-Lynn DiScala) is still with boyfriend Finn (Will Janowitz) and looking ahead to life after college, while nihilist son A.J. (Robert Iler) is taking cellphone pictures of himself instead of studying in class. Carmela has settled into a melancholy peace with having chosen the good (but bad) life with Tony over being a poor-but-noble divorcee. Silvio (Steven Van Zandt) and Paulie Walnuts (Tony Sirico) are still...
...hope, or at least think, that a novel with this title, about a single, thirtyish woman in New York City, would contain at least one significant likable character, preferably the husband-hunting protagonist herself. But in setting out to satirize some of the more glaring materialism of our time, Janowitz has created an oddly '80s portrait of life in the big city without any of the humor or flashes of insight that might have made this book stand out.

What subject is so vital that BARBARA TAYLOR BRADFORD and TAMA JANOWITZ both want to hold forth on it? The future of Diana, Princess of Wales, naturally. Romance Classics, a new TV channel, gathered (clockwise from top left) JACKIE COLLINS, Bradford, ERICA JONG, JOAN RIVERS, NANCY FRIDAY, Janowitz, OLIVIA GOLDSMITH and RONA JAFFE to plot a sequel to the sensational epic that has been Diana's first marriage. Suggestions included Diana's having her own talk show ("A listening show," said Goldsmith...
Animated only begins to describe Tama Janowitz's style, as readers of Slaves of New York and A Cannibal in Manhattan have already discovered. THE MALE CROSS-DRESSER SUPPORT GROUP (Crown; $20) continues the author's carom through the Big Apple. This time it's a send-up of bizarre life-styles as seen through the hungry eye of Pamela Trowel, advertising director of Hunter's World magazine. Pam is miscast not only in her career but also as a sex object and surrogate mom of Abdhul, a stray who looks like a child but talks like a grownup...
