First published in 1981, Leonard Michaels 's The Men's Club is a scathing, pitying, absurdly dark and funny novel about manhood in the age of therapy.
The climax is fitting, horrific, and wonderfully droll ( The New York Times Book Review ).
Seven men, friends and strangers, gather in a house in Berkeley.
They intend to start a men's club, the purpose of which isn't immediately clear to any of them; but very quickly they discover a powerful and passionate desire to talk.
