This book brings together seven stories by US short story writer Matthew Klam. The stories, such as the failure of the woman he falls in love with to meet his expectations, what happens to a self-doubting young businessman at a lavish wedding, how a chicken cooked for dinner becomes a corrosive element in a couple's relationship, and so on, all prove a young mind's skillful use of dark humor.

Klam is stunningly honest about men. His writing about male sexuality is realistic, witty and true. It makes you laugh out loud, as all good satirical texts do, and makes you wince with a certain awareness.
