Jamie Quatro, author of TWO-STEP DEVIL, a New York Times Editor’s ChoiceA Life in Men is a tender maelstrom of a memoir. Tierce’s flawless urgent sentences carry us across her years of marriage and motherhood, sex and dating, and the relentless search for a self, gathering force until we reach the the eye of the storm: a space shaped by longing and damage, at once luminous and aching. And did I mention that the book is—improbably!—extraordinarily funny? Nothing short of astonishing— I couldn’t put it down
Andrew Martin, author of DOWN TIMEMerritt Tierce's A Life in Men captures the wreckage of modern romance as well as anything I've read in years. It's a tough, sometimes brutal chronicle of dating, marriage, and loneliness, and, thanks to Tierce's inimitable voice, I could have read a thousand more pages. It is, obviously, quite bad out there, but thank God we have Tierce to bring us the truth
Jenji Kohan, creator and writer of ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACKRaw, devastating, brilliant—and relatable. A Life in Men is beautifully written and gorgeously observed
Jen Percy, author of Girls Play Dead: Acts of Self-PreservationThe best book about intimacy and loneliness ever written. With raw and gorgeous prose Tierce captures all that goes unspoken in our daily search to be loved and known. A Life in Men articulates everything I've ever wanted to say about men and love--- but that I didn't know was okay to say. Tierce nails the emptiness and heartache of modern love with devastating precision
Kerry Howley, author of BOTTOMS UP AND THE DEVIL LAUGHSAn unputdownable succession of brilliant sentences and shimmering insight. Merritt Tierce is a strange, singular, hilarious narrator and our best chronicler of loneliness. A Life in Men is a definitive work of female alienation that will endure well beyond the time it so masterfully captures
