Praise for An Available Man
"Wonderful new novel... often hilarious and always compassionate."--The New York Times Book Review
"Charming...affecting...emotionally layered"--Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air
"Tender, witty...smart and poignant, An Available Man explores some universal truths--that the past is never past, life is for the living, and dating is really, really hard."--O, the Oprah Magazine
"[Hilma Wolitzer is an] American literary treasure...Wolitzer uses her gift for her chosen medium, long-form fiction, to deliver a message far broader than this deceptively accessible novel first seems to address. An Available Man is not just a cautionary tale of geriatric loneliness and sex. It's a meditation - and then, a breathtaking roller-coaster ride, and then, a meditation again - on what we lose when we allow loss and longing to make us unavailable to ourselves."--Boston Globe
"[F]unny, wise and touching... Wolitzer writes so well and knows so much that her books combine absurdity with poignancy in a deft and captivating way."--The Washington Post
"Impressively readable... Wolitzer is such a capable storyteller. ...(S)ucceeds, precisely because the writer understands that it's not a childish insistence on finding everything delightful but the full complexity of experience that gives a romance, late-life or otherwise, its real beauty."--Philadelphia Enquirer"Wolitzer is, by turns, funny, shocking, poignant and wise..."--Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"Heartbreaking, maddening, comical, and poignant...This sweet story of a man's diving back into the dating pool at an older age will especially appeal to readers in that demographic. "--Library Journal
"I absolutely loved An Available Man (and not, I swear, because I'm partial to widowers). For a start, Edward Schuyler is someone I desperately wish I could invite to my next dinner party (and not, I swear, because there are half a dozen women I'd like him to meet). This is a book to savor page by page, filled with astute detail, both comic and mournful, about what it's like to be middle-aged and lonely yet not give up on the search for love."--Julia Glass, author of The Widower's Tale and the National Book Award-winning Three Junes
"Wolitzer [writes] of the pain of losing a partner and its aftermath . . . with remarkable insight, grace, and humor. A warm, keenly incisive view of life's vicissitudes by a writer too seldom heard from."--Booklist
"Comic, tender, and delicious, in An Available Man, the broken-hearted rise again to heal and find love anew. Hilma Wolitzer is a national treasure, and she's at her best here in the story of Edward Schuyler, a grieving widower who must put down his binoculars to see the world with new eyes. You will love it!"--Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of Big Stone Gap and Very Valentine
"Wolitzer's rapturously charming look at love in late life plumbs the depths of grief and longing to reveal the heady shine of new possibilities. What can I say? With its cast of exuberantly alive characters and a wise and witty plot, this book is love at first sight."--Caroline Leavitt, New York Times bestselling author of Pictures of You"Families are Wolitzer's turf, and she's an observant and often humorous chronicler of domesticity and the stuff that comes with it: illness, loss, boredom, crankiness, and, on good days, love."--Publishers Weekly
