The interesting thing about this series of stories (which are funny and well-written) is that they seem to progress towards the apex of marriage. Ah, that poor kid. Not right until he's hitched. These stories are all written with the promise that a good woman is all our protagonist, in this case, the author himself, needs to lend meaning to his life. This seemed too easy to me.

Acclaimed fiction writer Thomas Beller digs deep into his own history in this humorous and insightful collection about the state of masculinity. With sharp and engaging eloquence he discourses on T-shirts; being your mother's date at the Academy Awards; life at a bagel factory; the irrational pleasures of old American cars--and the mysterious disappearance of the author's own particular vehicle from a street in downtown Manhattan; love, sex, and breakups in an office environment; the social ecology of street basketball--including the sudden peril befalling a particular court in Manhattan and the heartwarming efforts of previously disparate community members to save it; coaches; the death of a parent; getting over J. D. Salinger; and an attempt to build a complicated piece of furniture for a beloved. Through stints as a bike messenger, a drummer, a boyfriend and--possibly, potentially, finally--a husband, Beller writes about the life-changing effects of love and marriage--past, present, and future.
