Sheila Levine is thirty, over-weight, over-sexed and unmarried . . . Sheila Levine is getting a divorce--from life! Sheila Levine is Dead and Living in New York is the most achingly funny suicide note ever written by a marriage-mad manhunter trying , unsuccessfully, to straddle two worlds: the one she's been programmed for since birth--marriage first, life later-- and the illusive swinging singles scene of "liberated" New York. You'll laugh at her. You'll cry for her. You'll recognize her at once . . . There's a little bit of Sheila Levine in every woman.
