Synopsis
A novel set on a seedy block of New York's Lower East Side over a period of 24 hours. It describes how Elizabeth Hall, a yuppie from the suburbs who has immersed herself in the bohemia of the downtown slums, tries to fit herself into a world that she knows little about. Harassed by the assorted lunatics and criminals of the precinct, Elizabeth attempts to find some semblance of rest in a world largely comprised of chaos. A "New York Times" Notable Book for 1998.

Publisher's Note
It's 5:00 a.m. and Elizabeth Hall can't sleep. She sits at her apartment window, entertaining murderous fantasies, while on the street below morons smash bottles, flip trash cans, vomit, and dance. Elizabeth struggles heroically to keep her wits, whether fighting with her landlord, the housing agency, or simply trying to survive. Twenty-four hours later the morons are back on the street, but this time Elizabeth is ready to strike a final, defiant-and hilarious-blow. Desperately funny, dark, and altogether entertaining, No Lease on Life perfectly captures a woman and a city on the edge.

Industry Reviews
"Tillman is a talented writer who demonstrates her wit, superb observational skill, realism of representation, and verbal eloquence."
Schultz

"This novel is...graced by flashes of bilious wit, a series of funny, inconsequential jokes and an appealingly loopy milieu."
Schultz
