True Enough

Jane Cody has reached the meltdown point in life known as forty. Happily employed at a Boston public TV station, she is blessed with a doting husband, a precocious six-year-old son, & a wonderful home: she is slowly going insane. Meanwhile in New York City, celebrity biographer Desmond Sullivan is at a crossroads of his own. Grateful for his long-term relationship with Russell, he nonetheless accepts an offer to guest lecture at a Boston college. When Jane & Desmond meet, they are drawn together by common failings & begin to collaborate on a documentary series about America's cultural mediocrities. Forging ahead professionally, they both hit personal speed bumps: Jane finds that adultery with your ex-husband is still adultery, & Desmond arrives unannounced at his & Russell's apartment to find a surprise of his own. Hilarious & poignant, True Enough is a bold leap forward for "a writer of insight, surprise, & finesse" (San Francisco Chronicle).
