Fleishman Is in Trouble: A Novel
If 2019 is all about the female narrative, leave it to Taffy Brodesser-Akner to provide a counterweight. Fleishman is in Trouble follows the tribulations of Toby Fleishman, a recently separated father of two whose wife unexpectedly takes off one day, leaving Fleishman to care for their children by himself. In her debut novel, Brodesser-Akner does the seemingly impossible, imbuing the classic tale of middle-aged male ennui with a sense of empathy for women.
