My New York Diary

Her New York Diary documents in compelling and graphic detail the events in Doucet's life during a six-month period in 1991 when she packed her bags and moved to New York. Waiting for her in anticipation was her new boyfriend, an aspiring cartoonist himself who took Julie into his upper west side apartment. The excitement of this new beginning was short-lived; gradually, her boyfriend's over-bearing jealousy became more evident, and the confines of her surroundings slowly became more suffocating. Rounding up this new book are two more stories that complete the obsessive- boyfriend triptych.
