Fleishman is in Trouble
By Taffy Brodesser-Akner

February 29th at Noon

About the Book: Toby Fleishman thought he knew what to expect when he and his
wife of almost fifteen years separated: weekends and every other holiday with
the kids, some residual bitterness, the occasional moment of tension in their
co-parenting negotiations. He could not have predicted that one day Rachel
would just drop their two children off at his place and simply not return. He
had been working so hard to find equilibrium in his single life.
As Toby tries to figure out where Rachel went, all while juggling his patients
at the hospital, his never-ending parental duties, and his new app-assisted
sexual popularity, his tidy narrative of the spurned husband with the too-
ambitious wife is his sole consolation. But if Toby ever wants to truly
understand what happened to Rachel and what happened to his marriage, he is
going to have to consider that he might not have seen things all that clearly
in the first place. _Fleishman Is in Trouble_ is an insightful, unsettling,
often hilarious exploration of a culture trying to navigate the fault lines of
an institution that has proven to be worthy of our great wariness and our
great hope.
