"Corman writes with a warm and wise empathy that could strike a chord with many." -Publishers Weekly "Avery Corman apparently knows how it all works--or doesn't--with the fast track urban middle-class: career, workaholism, divorce and children, single parent stress, SAT stress, copelessness that passes for coping. In this densely detailed, fast-moving story that has the scope of cultural anthropology, he is compassionate, clinical and funny. And with a surprise at the end that is credible as well as heart-warming." -Jules Feiffer "A hard and lovely take on the psychological and emotional costs that even the most civilized divorce can exact on parents and children....Corman's observations are subtle, yet bracing; his dialogue lean, yet potent; his wisdom confronting, yet humane. There may not be a perfect divorce, but Corman may have written a perfect book on divorce." -Sunday Oregonian "This is life after Kramer vs. Kramer, tender, tough and so true it hurts. In crystal clear prose, Corman superbly lays bare the secrets we hide, even from ourselves." -Barbara Goldsmith, author of Other Powers: The Age of Suffrage, Spiritualism and the Scandalous Victoria Woodhull, Johnson v. Johnson, and Little Gloria...Happy at LastCorman, Avery is the author of 'Perfect Divorce' with ISBN 9780312998288 and ISBN 0312998287.
