Abstract:
Just how far would they go in pursuit of their obsessions?

Sally Arnstein, managing editor of ZING, a hip woman’s magazine recently sold to an Australian media mogul, desperately wants to be promoted to editor-in-chief. Bette Johnson—just paroled from an upstate New York prison where she was incarcerated for ‘medical terrorism”— wants a forum to publicize her messianic message on the dangers of cosmetic surgery. And Arkady Zarcata, a Manhattan plastic surgeon, has turned to life coach, Roger Rogers, for advice on how to increase the revenue of his under-achieving medical practice. In Wrinkles, a zany satire, their obsessive worlds collide.
