Stephen McCauley’s rollicking and touching novel asks an increasingly important question: Is it ever okay to stop caring for others and start living for yourself?
Stephen McCauley is the author of seven previous novels, including national bestsellers My Ex-Life, The Object of My Affection, and Alternatives to Sex. Three of his books have been made into feature films. The New York Times Book Review dubbed him "the secret love child of Edith Wharton and Woody Allen," and the French Ministry of Culture named him a Chevalier in the Order of Arts and Letters. He currently codirects the Creative Writing program at Brandeis University.
