"So, Why Have You Never Been Married?": A Memoir of Love, Loss and Lunacy (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Are you looking for one of the most honest, entertaining and outrageous books on relationships since Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer? Alan Stransman's new memoir, "'So, Why Have You Never Been Married?': A Memoir of Love, Loss and Lunacy" provides unique insight into many of the questions and issues about which female readers are curious: "What do men want?", "What do men want in a woman?", What do men want in a relationship", "How to understand men?", "How to attract guys?" and even "How to fix a relationship?" As he did in his first memoir, "Don't Let Your Dream Business Turn into a Nightmare: A Cautionary Tale for Would-Be Entrepreneurs", in his latest book, Alan Stransman uses real-life experiences as the raw material to craft a compelling, poignant and often hilarious narrative. This time out, the subject matter is dating and relationships - and Stransman has had more than his share of relationship problems, despite his efforts to find enduring love with a woman. The following testimonial from reader Colette Stevenson is typical of the response to "'So, Why Have You Never Been Married?': A Memoir of Love, Loss and Lunacy": "Who could resist the title 'So, Why Have You Never Been Married?' Not me, that's for sure. I started to read the book expecting to be entertained by tales of great dating disasters and given a free pass into the inner sanctum of the dating man's mind.......maybe now I'll understand. It was all this and so much more. Mr. Stransman recollects and relates his journey through the often perilous world of dating. He does so with candor, humor, charming, self deprecating honesty and something approaching self-destructive fun. Meanwhile, threading through the events are moments of startling self-realization and unexpected tenderness. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book....I laughed,I cried and sometimes found myself doing both at once. It will have men and women nodding in recognition at the situations which arise and for very different reasons. Yet both men and women will enjoy the lessons learned from the common thread that connects us all....the need to love and to be loved. An excellent read." Alan Stransman is a former teacher of English Literature at the high school and university levels, and has graduate degrees from the Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University and the University of Western Ontario. Among his literary heroes are D. H. Lawrence, Philip Roth and Henry Miller, all of whom wrote about male sexuality with candor and humour. This is not a "how-to book, although anyone looking for insight into why relationships fail, insecurity in relationships, trust in relationships, relationships problems, relationship psychology or how to fix a relationship may find something of interest in "'So, Why have You Never Been Married?': A Memoir of Love, Loss and Lunacy."
