This is a chronicle of a couple coming together and breaking apart. There is courage in these pages because so much of what McClanahan details is ugly and desperate and raw--everything, food, drink, love, heartbreak, to excess. The writing is so intimate you want to reach into the book to save this man from himself but you can't. That impossibility is what makes this book so memorable, so powerful.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e— Roxanne Gay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMcClanahan shows us the dents and scrapes and breakdowns of a man trying to be to a husband and father while at the same time sabotaging the very things he loves.  Unnerving but remarkable.” –Willy Vlautin, \u003ci\u003eThe Motel Life\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eCover Image: \u003cbr\u003eEndless Romance, 2024\u003cbr\u003e© Tomas Harker\u003cbr\u003eCourtesy of The Sunday Painter\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"020-DESK-ZERO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58421114962245,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1049\/4663\/0981\/files\/TSB.jpg?v=1782830801","url":"https:\/\/020-desk-zero.myshopify.com\/products\/the-sarah-book-preorder","provider":"020-DESK-ZERO","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
