Good company : a novel / Kate Christensen.
"Julia Heimdahl is a writer in mid-career, spending time at book festivals and literary events, often drinking too much with men who say pretentious things like 'You're like Cordelia,' thinking this will get her into bed! Julia has had her share of boyfriends but is now involved with a younger man--someone who's actually nice to her. But when she goes back to teach at her alma mater one summer, she's confronted with some ghosts from her past who haven't completely disappeared in the present. Through interactions with some old friends--including a woman with whom she'd almost had an affair back in college--and excerpts from her memoir-in-progress, Julia comes to question some of those relationships and to wonder what it takes, really, to be 'good company'"-- Provided by publisher.
