About this product

Product Information

In this wildly funny, brilliantly inventive novel, Tim O'Brien has created the ultimate character for our times. Thomas Chippering, a 6'6" professor of linguistics, is a man torn between two obsessions: the desperate need to win back his former wife, the faithless Lorna Sue, and a craving to test his erotic charms on every woman he meets. But there are complications, including Lorna Sue's brother, Herbie, with whom she has an all-too-close relationship, and the considerable charms of Chippering's new love, the attractive, and of course already married, Mrs. Robert Kooshof, who may at last satisfy Chippering's longing for intimacy. In Tomcat in Love, Tim O'Brien takes on the battle of the sexes with astonishing results. By turns hilarious, outrageous, romantic, and deeply moving, this is one of the most talked about novels in years: a novel for this and every age.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Like all comic novels, Tomcat is a complex affair that invites a complex response and offers a complex reward." -- The New York Times Book Review " Tomcat in Love is a wonderful novel, laugh-out-loud funny, one of the best books I've come across in years. . . . Go out and find a copy . . . now. It really is that good." --Washington Post "Tim O'Brien knows cold the spiraling insularity of obsession. . . . Thomas Chippering . . . is wickedly realized.

Tim O'Brien can flat-out write. . . . Quirky and immensely satisfying. . . . After all the years of deadly serious writing, O'Brien has swung from the opposite side of the plate with Tomcat . He's hit a home run." -- Denver Post "Wildly funny, accusingly poignant. . . . O'Brien has done a masterful job of depicting all those loose ends, those unmailed valentines, that final abiding question we have all . . . asked of the loved one who has left us behind." -- San Diego Union Tribune, " Tomcat in Love is a wonderful novel, laugh-out-loud funny, one of the best books I've come across in years. . . .

Literary masterpiece
Great book that i would reccommend reading to anyone. O'Brien really shows how superb of a writer he truly is with this one. This is the first book I've ever read that made me laugh histerically out loud. Kind of embarrassing on a public bus. Not at all a typical O'Brien, but any fan would appreciate his versatility and love this book.
