Author Description

- More than 100,000 paperback copies of Behind the Scenes at the Museum were sold in the U.S. in the wake of the Whitbread Award.- Smart, funny stories sell--just as collections by witty women like Melissa Bank, Pam Houston, and Lorrie Moore made huge splashes with booksellers and readers, Kate Atkinson's particularly wicked brand of humor and faultless sense of human emotion make NOT THE END OF THE WORLD a sure winner.
