In five particularly glorious pages of her new novel Where’d You Go, Bernadette (Little, Brown and Co, August 14), Semple manages to send up Seattle's five-way intersections, slow drivers, hairstyles (there are two: "short gray hair and long gray hair"), homeless problem, and Microsoft, not to mention a whole paragraph on Seattle slang. No transplant has ever eviscerated our city with the elan of Maria Semple, a former Arrested Development writer who recently relocated here from Los Angeles and turned to fiction to process her culture shock.
