The husband of The Bitch in the House responds with a collection of
original essays in which male writers describe what men desire,
need, love, and loathe in their relationships and in the world
today. Cathi Hanauer's bestselling The Bitch in the House: 26 Women
Tell the Truth about Sex, Solitude, Work, Motherhood, and Marriage
spurred a national conversation about the level of friction in
contemporary marriages and relationships. Now her husband, Daniel
Jones, has rallied the men for the "literary equivalent of The Full
Monty," in which twenty-seven thoughtful, passionate and often
hilarious men, lay it bare when it comes to their wives and
girlfriends, their hopes, and fears. Enough with pop psychiatrists
telling us why men lie, cheat, and want nothing more than to laze
around the house in front of the TV. Enough with women wondering
aloud-at increasing volume-why the men in their lives behave the
way they do. The time has come for men to speak for themselves.
Many of the husbands and fathers in these pages contemplate aspects
of their personal lives they've never before revealed in print-they
kick open the door on their marriages and sex lives, their
fathering and domestic conflicts, their most intimate relationships
and situations. Yet unlike the average meat-and-potatoes father who
still rules the roost, these men are grappling with new ideas of
manhood -- some they are going after and grabbing, and others that
are being thrust upon them by a changing world. Powerful, heartfelt
and irreverent, The Bastard on the Couch is a bold, unprecedented
glimpse into the dark corners and glaring truths of modern
relationships that is guaranteed to amuse, entertain, enrich, and
provoke.
