Brilliant, inventive, and wildly funny, this novel by the award-winning author of "Going After Cacciato, In the Lake of the Woods, " and "The Nuclear Age" tells the story of a man torn between two obsessions: the desperate need to win back his former wife and a craving to test his erotic charms on every woman he meets.
****A CLASSIC FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF * THE THINGS THEY CARRIED*****In this wildly funny, brilliantly inventive novel, Tim O'Brien has created the ultimate character for our times. Thomas Chippering, a 6'6 professor of linguistics, is a man torn between two obsessions: the desperate need to win back his former wife, the faithless Lorna Sue, and a craving to test his erotic charms on every woman he meets.
But there are complications, including Lorna Sue's brother, Herbie, with whom she has an all-too-close relationship, and the considerable charms of Chippering's new love, the attractive, and of course already married, Mrs. Robert Kooshof, who may at last satisfy Chippering's longing for intimacy. In* Tomcat in Love *, Tim O'Brien takes on the battle of the sexes with astonishing results. By turns hilarious, outrageous, romantic, and deeply moving, this is one of the most talked about novels in years: a novel for this and every age.
