<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b> First published in 1981, Leonard Michaels's <i>The Men's Club </i>is a scathing, pitying, absurdly dark and funny novel about manhood in the age of therapy. The climax is fitting, horrific, and wonderfully droll (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>). </b> <p/>Seven men, friends and strangers, gather in a house in Berkeley. They intend to start a men's club, the purpose of which isn't immediately clear to any of them; but very quickly they discover a powerful and passionate desire to talk.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Chekhov and Kafka, after consulting Chaucer, might have collaborated on <i>The Men's Club</i>. It is excellent." --John Leonard, <i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"Leonard Michaels's stories stand alongside those of his best Jewish contemporaries--Grace Paley and Philip Roth. Like theirs, Michaels's vernacular achieves the level of song." --Mona Simpson, <i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"Leonard Michaels was an original; everything he wrote, like it or not, came alive. His prose moved at a fast clip and paid readers the compliment of assuming they could match his mental velocity, with a concise, pungent and pyrotechnic style that tolerated no flab." --Philip Lopate, <i>The Nation</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Leonard Michaels </b>(1933-2003) was the author of five collections of stories and essays--<i>Going Places</i>, <i>I Would Have Saved Them If I Could</i>, <i>Shuffle</i>, <i>A Girl with a Monkey</i>, and <i>To Feel These Things</i>--as well as two novels, <i>Sylvia </i>and <i>The Men's Club</i>. All of his fiction will be reissued as FSG Classics.</p>
