Mr. Marmalade

By Noah Haidle

“…exhilarating…alternately hilarious and heartbreaking… through the alchemy of
Haidle’s scintillating style.” - The New Yorker.

Lucy is a four-year-old girl with a very active imagination. Unfortunately, her imaginary friend Mr. Marmalade doesn’t have much time for her. Not to mention he beats up his personal assistant has a cocaine addiction and a penchant for pornography.
