I'm Dying Laughing (1989) - Plot & Excerpts

Blurb described this as verbose, and that is a good way to talk about this novel of mostly dialog. It is what makes it pretty good. Takes place in usa and france (mostly) from 1930’s through 1950’s and the main characters are leftists and writers, of novels, articles, and screenplays and scripts. So they are fairly well off, yet always support the proles. Stead worked on this novel for many decades and finally died before it was published. Considered one of the great Australian authors, I will withhold judgment till I read something else by her, as this seemed sprawling, blackest of the black humor, and just a devastating and sad sad end.
