✦ Synopsis

What does he really mean when he says: "It's not you, it's me"?

Profanity. Egging. Xanax. Oh, the things men (and even some women) will resort to when love's gone awry. In The Encyclopedia of Exes, some of today's hippest male writers dig deep into their romantic pasts to present twenty-six inspired pieces of short fiction on heartbreak and failed relationships. Their stories, ranging from the passionate to the cynical to the downright hilarious, address the age-old issue of how and why romance often fails--from a uniquely male perspective. Ever wondered just what men do with their broken hearts, or why they break women's hearts so often? The Encyclopedia of Exes demystifies the inner workings of the male psyche to the benefit of women everywhere, featuring a broad range of writers.
