Product Information
A wise, hilarious novel from the beloved, award-winning author of Dickens and Prince , Funny Girl and High Fidelity Will Freeman may have discovered the key to dating success: If the simple fact that they were single mothers meant that gorgeous women - women who would not ordinarily look twice a Will - might not only be willing, but enthusiastic about dating him, then he was really onto something.

Reviews
"A follow up to High Fidelity ... About a Boy is an acerbic, emotionally richer yet no less funny tale...shrewdly hilarious."-- Entertainment Weekly "Hornby is a writer who dares to be witty, intelligent and emotionally generous all at once. He combines a skilled, intuitive appreciation for the rigors of comic structure with highly original insights about the way the enchantments of popular culture insinuate themselves into middle-class notions of romance."-- The New York Times Book Review "The conversations between Will and Marcus are hilariously loopy."-- The Boston Globe "An amusing male-bonding theme...stylish, well-observed"-- People "Writing with real 'soul.'"-- Harper's Bazaar "An utterly charming, picaresque tale of an older guy, a young kid, and the funky, dysfunctional real-life ties that bind--and unbind."-- Vogue, "A follow up to High Fidelity ...
