This book’s saving grace is how absolutely deluded the narrator is. I like that he argues like a lawyer subconsciously, like it’s second nature. I like that it’s never occurred to him that he’s not empathetic, that his low level of empathy is not the norm.

This book is so glaringly obviously written by a man. At a time when no one asked, he describes his wife’s boobs (he says breasts) as “defeated by age.” And I cannot stand here and pretend the author wrote that as a character decision for Andrew Barber.
