Author: Tim Kreider
This book is about Tim’s struggles. He doesn’t make much money. He is an adopted child and has attachment problems, which he is clear to point out, are unrelated. His one true companion, his cat, is suffering from dementia and incontinence. But his most important struggle is his inability to form a long term relationship with the opposite sex. What he lacks in longevity, he makes up in quantity and in one chapter after another he introduces us to the wide variety of women that he dated. They range from Annie who ran off to join a circus, to Zoey who’s a prostitute by profession. Most often, he reflects on himself and why he was attracted to them.
Tim writes beautiful prose. I found myself reading many sentences over and over again to appreciate and savor the meaning. This is, what I believe is called, a book for writers.
