Structured as a daybook of sorts, the book follows the Cursing Mommy--beleaguered wife of Larry and mother of two young boys--as she offers tips on how to do various tasks around the home, only to end up on the ground, cursing, surrounded by broken glass. Her voice is somewhere between Phyllis Diller's and Sylvia Plath's: a hilariously desperate housewife with a taste for swearing and large glasses of red wine, who speaks to the frustrations of everyday life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Cursing Mommy's Book of Days\u003c\/i\u003e, Frazier colors his fiction with grace and aplomb, as well as an extra helping of his trademark wicked wit. The Cursing Mommy's failures and weaknesses are our own--and Frazier gives them a loving, satirical spin that is uniquely his own.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIAN FRAZIER\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eGreat Plains\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Fish's Eye\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOn the Rez\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFamily\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNobody Better, Better Than Nobody\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGone to New York\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTravels in Siberia\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eCoyote v.
