Mantrapped — Fay Weldon

The Booker Prize nominee's quirky novel about a man and woman trading bodies, supplemented with her personal commentary: “Tremendously fun to read.” -- Booklist

Described as a “reality novel,” Mantrapped reveals, in alternating chapters, personal reflections and observations of the acclaimed author Fay Weldon and the fictional story of a broke, fortysomething woman who brushes past a handsome male newspaper editor -- and in that moment, mysteriously switches souls with him.

A follow-up to Weldon's autobiographical Auto da Fay, this creative concoction reminds us why the author of The Life and Loves of a She-Devil and dozens of other works is so renowned for her “piercing, insightful, razor-like wit” (The Washington Post), especially when it comes to the battle of the sexes.

“She's just so good…Weldon's extraordinary wit and insight ricochet through these pages.” -- The Baltimore Sun

“If you can just keep up with Weldon's madcap journey, Mantrapped is more than worth the trip.” -- O, the Oprah Magazine
