description: Seven men, friends and strangers, gather in a house in Berkeley. They intend to start a menâ€s club, the purpose of which isnâ€t immediately clear to any of them; but very quickly they discover a powerful and passionate desire to talk. First published in 1981, The Menâ€s Club is a scathing, pitying, absurdly dark and funny novel about manhood in the age of therapy. â€œThe climax is fitting, horrific, and wonderfully drollâ€ ( The New York Times Book Review ).
