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 BookReviewThis glorious debut has the humor of Maria Semple, the heart of Meg Wolitzer, the lustiness of Philip Roth, and a voice that is pure. Its wild and wonderful and goes in so many directions, each with profundity-my favorite thing that novels can do. How does one's favorite journalist become one's new favorite novelist? With this book.-Emma StraubWhen his ex drops the kids off and doesnt come back, a father of two revisits the choices that led to this moment. He searches for answers, hilariously and heartbreakingly avoiding the darkest questions. Brodesser-Akners debut is a referendum on marriage, friendship, and how we live (and love) right now.-PeopleWhip-smart, gleefully scatological . . . [Brodesser-Akner] aims a perfect gimlet eye at the citys relentless self-regard. . . . But her best trick may be the novels narrator: An elusive presence identified at first only as an old friend of Tobys from their study-abroad days, she turns out to be both the books Trojan horse and-in a brilliant third-act pivot-its greatest gift, transforming a fizzy comedy of manners into something genuinely, unexpectedly profound.-Entertainment WeeklyMany novelists have written excellent fictional indictments of interpersonal and systemic sexism. Not since Teju Coles 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 magazine work. The result is a maddening, unsettling masterpiece, and, yes, you will be moved and inexplicably grateful at the end.-NPRIn her witty and well-observed debut, Taffy Brodesser-Akner updates the miserable-matrimony novel, dropping it squarely in ou.
