About the Book

The well-intentioned parents of a teenage son attempt to lessen the impact of their failed two-career marriage with an intelligent, successful divorce. But their son goes off the tracks, staggering under the weight of his parents' expectations and need for denial. His troubles send shock waves through adult relationships on all sides. The serious implications of divorce on ex-spouses, their new partners, their family members and the absurd college pressures on young people today is the emotional landscape of "A Perfect Divorce. Through riveting storytelling, Corman addreses the popular cultural myth, created out of wishful thinking, that children of divorce can be emotionally protected by careful parenting, and that divorce can be relatively risk-free. With the same clear-eyed perspective and insight about contemporary life that he brought to "Kramer vs. Kramer, Corman shows us where we have come since "Kramer and where we are now, in a novel that is timely and moving.

Review :
"Avery Corman apparently knows how it all works--or doesn't--with the fast track urban middle-class: career, workaholism, divorce and children, single parent stress, SAT stress, copelessness that passes for coping. In this densely detailed, fast-moving story that has the scope of cultural anthropology, he is compassionate, clinical and funny. And with a surprise at the end that is credible as well as heart-warming." --Jules Feiffer "With perfect pitch, Avery Corman has written an unforgettable book about love, kids and divorce. Divorce, even a 'perfect' one, devastates all in its path. Everyone--and I mean everyone--divorced or considering divorce should read this book. It will break your heart and open your eyes." -Ari Goldman, author of The Search for God at Harvard and Living a Year of Kaddish "This is life after "Kramer vs. Kramer, tender, tough and so true it hurts. In crystal clear prose, Corman superbly lays bare the secrets we hide, even from ourselves." -Barbara Goldsmith, author of" Other Powers: The Age of Suffrage, Spiritualism and the Scandalous Victoria Woodhull, Johnson v. Johnson, and "Little Gloria...Happy at Last "Does anyone understand family life better than Avery Corman? "A Perfect Divorce takes a lucky reader into the mysterious landscape of urban life, love and child-rearing with Corman's wise and all-knowing gaze." --Marie Brenner, "Vanity Fair Writer-at-Large and author of "Great Dames: What I Learned from Older Women
