I Can Count On Me
Literati were all abuzz this summer with the release of Mr. Peanut, a debut novel by Adam Ross, which, at its core, is about married life. Best-selling author, Scott Turow, reviewing the book for the Times, writes: “Mr. Peanut is most harrowing in its bleakly convincing portrayal of the eternal contest that often passes for a marriage, with each partner holding the other responsible for his or her deepest unhappiness.” Sometimes, it feels great to be single.
