Description:
Meet the men in Diana JosephÂ's life: “The boy,” DianaÂ's fourteen-year-old son, who supports the NRA and dreams of living in a house with wall-to-wall carpeting; DianaÂ's father, whoÂ's called her on the telephone twice, ever, and who sat her down when she was twelve to caution her against becoming a slut (she didnÂ't listen); DianaÂ's brothers, or, as her father calls them, “the two assholes”; DianaÂ's ex-husband, a lumberjack with three ex-wives, yet heÂ's still the first one she calls when sheÂ's in a jam; and DianaÂ's common-law husband, Al, an English professor whoÂ's been mistakenly called mentally challenged. Ostensibly organized around the various men in DianaÂ's life, this is really a memoir about what itÂ's like to be a modern, smart woman making her way in the world.
