A
finely observed, timely exploration of marriage, divorce, and the bewildering
dynamics of ambition from one of the most exciting writers working today
Toby Fleishman thought he knew
what to expect when he and his wife of almost fifteen years separated: weekends
and every other holiday with the kids, some residual bitterness, the occasional
moment of tension in their co-parenting negotiations. 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.
Alma’s Best Jewish Novel of the
Year
“Blisteringly funny, feverishly
smart, heartbreaking, and true, Fleishman Is in Trouble is an essential read
for anyone who’s wondered how to navigate loving (and hating) the people we
choose.”—Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney, author of The Nest
“From its opening pages,
Fleishman Is in Trouble is shrewdly observed, brimming with wisdom, and utterly
of this moment. Not until its explosive final pages are you fully aware of its
cunning ferocity. Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s debut is that rare and delicious
treat: a page-turner with heft.”—Maria Semple
