A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by longtime All Things
Considered commentator and author of The Glen Rock Book of the
Dead charts the trajectory of a marriage so impossible that it
became inevitable.
“Gritty, funny,

Orleans, her friends shook their heads. For starters, she was

sons, true enough to weather drug addiction, sexual betrayal, and the
AIDS that would kill Tony at the age of thirty-seven, twelve years
after they met.
