โœฆ Synopsis


An outrageous, darkly funny novel aboutmanhood . . .

The late 1970s. Seven men - friends, acquaintances, and strangers - gather in a suburban home in Berkeley, California. They intend to start a men's club, the purpose of which isn't immediately clear to any of them.

But as the evening wears on and the drinks flow faster, they discover a powerful and passionate desire to talk - to unburden and to share, to try and comprehend their feelings, their insecurities, their lives.

Kramer claims he's slept with six hundred women; Berliner and his wife beat each other up as foreplay; Cavanaugh - big handsome guy - is haunted by his former life as a professional basketball player. And Terry just can't get over Deborah Zeller.

The Men's Club is a scathing, pitying, absurdly dark and funny novel about manhood and masculinity.
