With her adult son Malcolm, and a cat housing her dead husband, spider woman Frances Price leaves New York City for Paris. She and Malcolm have no clue about what to do with their bankrupt lives. Patrick deWitt discusses adoring awful characters as a reader, and engaging in full viciousness as a writer.
