My name is May Woodlea and I am writing hoping to begin
writing my PhD the proposal for my PhD. Very soon. Soon.
My name is May Woodlea and I have failed to achieve anything of
significance with my life.
May Woodlea is the 3 a.m. failure in us all. She is not writing the
proposal for her PhD. She lives in a grotty bedsit with her
long-suffering partner Jansen. She is plagued by her unforgivably
cheerful younger sister Elizabeth.
How will May find purpose in her life and escape the daily grind?
Can May and Jansen rescue their relationship from a seeming
eternity of grudge-holding, competitive tiredness, imagined slights
and absolutely no sex? And what will happen when a glamorous,
domineering French writer and an old flame of Jansen's come on the
scene?
Footnotes to Sex is a painfully funny novel about
procrastination, double-chocolate biscuits, the importance of
commitment and what happens in relationships when the sex isn't
happening . . .
