An Available Man: A Novel di Hilma Wolitzer
Plodding at the beginning, trite in the middle, and topped off with a stupendously undeveloped ending. Decent dialog but not enough to give this book more than zero stars. I suppose I got what I deserve for picking a book off the library shelf totally based on its title.
I really liked a bunch of the stories, a couple in the middle didn't do it for me though. Overall, she managed to take some stories that feel mundane/are not extraordinary and make them feel special.
This was a gentle, funny sort-of romance about navigating love and grief later in life. Wolitzer's innate compassion shines through—it was a kind book, but not sentimental or slow-moving, and a perfect novel to read during a difficult couple of weeks.

lisapeet | 70 altre recensioni | Dec 24, 2022 | Lean, but not mean in the least—rather the stories, which date from 1966 to 2020, are all muscle and heart, domestic but not in the least fussy. I love Wolitzer's understanding of how compassion and humor fit seamlessly together.
