Description: "Each of these cases is touched by Wilson's sympathy and affection for male foibles. Taken together, they give us a nuanced picture of the American husband and father: well-meaning but caught out, horny but physically gone to pot, adrift on dreams and fancies and the desire for a little bit of a break. These are men who, finally, can't quite suppress their feelings about love, family, and the fundamentals--humdrum, rich, and increasingly precious, these days--of middle-class life"--Publisher's description.
