Co workers 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 . When Diane Schwebe the director of a major New York museum is awakened in the early morning by a text message from the museum’s lawyer it is the start of a twenty-four hour roller-coaster ride. Diane has sacrificed many things in her life to help the fading institution stave off irrelevance and financial ruin. In this battle she’s surrounded by her stalwart supporters: her enigmatic and tireless personal assistant Chris the museum’s 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. 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 he’s not sure he wants a costume curator stuck in an inescapable rut and the ambivalent curator of the museum’s film program whose first day on the job might very well be his last. On this day of the museum’s annual gala every plate that Diane has kept spinning will fall and by daybreak someone will be dead. 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.
