He could not have predicted that one day, in the middle of his summer of sexual emancipation, Rachel would just drop their two children off at his place and simply not return. He had been working so hard to find equilibrium in his single life. The winds of his optimism, long dormant, had finally begun to pick up. Now this.As Toby tries to figure out where Rachel went, all while juggling his patients at the hospital, his never-ending parental duties, and his new app-assisted sexual popularity, his tidy narrative of the spurned husband with the too-ambitious wife is his sole consolation. But if Toby ever wants to truly understand what happened to Rachel and what happened to his marriage, he is going to have to consider that he might not have seen things all that clearly in the first place.A searing, utterly unvarnished debut, Fleishman Is in Trouble is an insightful, unsettling, often hilarious exploration of a culture trying to navigate the fault lines of an institution that has proven to be worthy of our great wariness and our great hope.Almas Best Jewish Novel of the Year Finalist for the National Book Critics Circles John Leonard Prize for Best First Book.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New York Times Bestseller, acclaimed debut novel, later printing. Bright, clean & tight hardcover, unread, in NEW condition. "[A] sharp and tender-hearted debut. This is a sardonically cheerful novel that readers will adore."--Publishers Weekly. "This portrait of modern love and marriage is blisteringly funny, searingly accurate, wincingly painful, and--ultimately--both heartbreaking and humane. FLEISHMAN IS IN TROUBLE reminds me of the great novels of the 1960s and '70s--just the sort of thing that Philip Roth or John Updike might have produced in their prime (except, of course, that the author understands women). Taffy Brodesser-Akner can write the pants off any novelist out there. She's a star, and this book is a work of utter perfection."--Elizabeth Gilbert. "FLEISHMAN IS IN TROUBLE is a marvel, full of shrewd observations, barbed wit, and deep insight. Taffy Brodesser-Akner reveals the twisted hearts of her characters--and the twisted soul of contemporary America--with an eye that is at once pitiless and full of compassion for our human foibles. This is a remarkable debut from one of the most distinctive writers around."--Tom Perrotta. "Many novelists have written excellent fictional indictments of interpersonal and systemic sexism. Not since Teju Cole's Open City--a very different book in all other respects--has a novelist put the reader on the wrong side the way Brodesser-Akner does. To do so, she uses a lot of intelligence, a lot of anger, a great sense of humor and a whole new variation on the magic we know from her [NYT] magazine work. The result is a maddening, unsettling masterpiece, and, yes, you will be moved and inexplicably grateful at the end."--NPR. Pristine copy w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, quite attractive & presentable. Seller Inventory # RUB2044
