The debut novel by New York and Miami-based author / screenwriter Shelly
Gitlow, Dispatches from Paradise is an over-the-top erotic comedy about
three generations of women living together in Miami, where DD cups
abound, octogenarians recite erotic poetry, an S&M fitness class is
not for the faint-hearted, and where too much is never enough.
Dispatches from Paradise is written in the distinct voices of Liz (39)
who pulls the plug on her marriage and quits her job so she can re-boot
her life; her hypersexual mother, Claudette (55), who is searching for
her next partner/meal ticket; and Darcy (18), Liz's beautiful, reckless
daughter who's realizing she might also have a brain and be a lesbian.
When all three move in together, all hell breaks loose—but as the women
tear through the city's racy clubs and outrageous art scene, Liz,
Claudette, and Darcy change, grow, and reconnect on new terms, letting
go of past betrayals, misunderstandings, and disappointments.



Shelly Gitlow co-wrote the script for the feature film Boynton Beach
Club with director Susan Seidelman. For more information please visit,
