At a thirty-year reunion, a group of old friends tell the story of their lives - and the story of a generation - in this brilliant new novel from one of America's most celebrated writers. 'Tim O'Brien is the best American writer of his generation.' San Francisco Examiner Acclaimed for his award-winning fiction about the Vietnam War, Tim O'Brien now enters the territory of John Irving and Joseph Heller to take on the war between the sexes - and creates a masterpiece of black comedy. A wickedly accurate portrait of obsessive love that manages to be both fiercely comic and profoundly moving, Tomcat in Love introduces a blundering, modern-day Don Juan who captures the desires and bewilderment of men everywhere - Thomas Chippering, a pompous linguistics professor and incorrigible flirt, whose wife has left him for a suntanned tycoon. Determined to win her back, or at least wreck her new relationship, he heads for Florida - and a hurricane of trouble.
