Coworkers at a legendary but troubled New York City museum struggle with issues large and small over the course of one extraordinary day in this whip-smart marvel (Mona Awad, bestselling author of Bunny) of a novel in the vein of The White Lotus. nWhen Diane Schwebe, the director of a major New York museum, is awakened in the early morning by a text message from the museums lawyer, it is the start of a twenty-four hour roller-coaster ride. n n Diane has sacrificed many things in her life to help the fading institution stave off irrelevance and financial ruin. In this battle, shes surrounded by her stalwart supporters: her enigmatic and tireless personal assistant, Chris; the museums trusty head of security, Shay; and its general counsel, Henry--a man whose ability to weasel his way out of a jam is matched only by his capacity to avoid learning anything from the experience. n n Orbiting Diane is a motley assortment of museum employees, each on the precipice of collapse or revelation: among them a line cook staring down a huge opportunity hes not sure he wants; a costume curator stuck in an inescapable rut; and the ambivalent curator of the museums film program, whose first day on the job might very well be his last. n n On this day of the museums annual gala, every plate that Diane has kept spinning will fall and by daybreak, someone will be dead. n n Wise, surprising, and darkly funny, Friends of the Museum is a kaleidoscopic tragicomedy that surges along to the unstoppable tick of the clock, leaving you on the edge of your seat until the final second.n
