What Smart Women Know
The coauthors of Men Who Can't Love promise women "wisdom without pain" in this slick self-help guide to ideal romantic relationships. Describing women caught in various unrewarding relationships with men, Carter and Sokol compile a battery of catchy, puerile aphorisms about men and rules of behavior for dealing with them. Readers are warned to avoid "any man who wears his napkin like a bib" as well as one who reads The Satanic Verses on public transportation. Although mixed with some common-sense recommendations, these observations (e.g., "Unless you have good connections at Interpol, think twice before dating an elusive man") generally insult the intentions and intelligence of the reader. First serial to Cosmopolitan; paperback rights to Dell; Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Clubs featured alternates.Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
