Sinossi
From the winner of the National Book Award – a wildly funny, brilliantly inventive novel about a man torn between two obsessions: the desperate need to win back his former wife and a craving to test his erotic charms on every woman he meets.
‘Tim O’Brien is the best American writer of his generation.’
San Francisco Examiner
Acclaimed for his award-winning fiction about the Vietnam War, Tim O’Brien now enters the territory of John Irving and Joseph Heller to take on the war between the sexes – and creates a masterpiece of black comedy.
A wickedly accurate portrait of obsessive love that manages to be both fiercely comic and profoundly moving, Tomcat in Love introduces a blundering, modern-day Don Juan who captures the desires and bewilderment of men everywhere – Thomas Chippering, a pompous linguistics professor and incorrigible flirt, whose wife has left him for a suntanned tycoon. Determined to win her back, or at least wreck her new relationship, he heads for Florida – and a hurricane of trouble.

Recensione
‘Tomcat in Love is a wonderful novel, laugh-out-loud funny, one of the best books I’ve come across in years. My advice is that you waste no more time on this review. Put down the paper. Go out and find a copy. Now. It really is that good.’
Washington Post
‘Lust, laughs and literary mastery.’
New York Post
‘Demonically engaging... narrative genius.’
Boston Globe
L'autore
Tim O’Brien was born in Minnesota and graduated from Macalester College in St Paul. He served in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970 and subsequently pursued graduate studies at Harvard. He later worked as a national affairs reporter for the Washington Post. He established himself as one of the leading writers of his generation in 1973 when he published If I Die in a Combat Zone, the compelling account of his own tour of duty in Vietnam.
‘O’Brien certainly ranks among the best writers we have.’ Joseph Heller
