139 x 216mm, 200 pages, Black & white printing, Perfect bound, Softcover, 2025 Darryl Cook is a cuckold, and that’s exactly how he likes it. He has an inheritance that spares him f rom work, a manageable and seemingly consequence-free drug habit, and a lovely wife called Mindy who’s generally game for anything—and for as much of it as she can get. But after an accidental overdose and some serious oversharing, Darryl’s world begins to crack up. Tormented by what seems to be the secret truth in sex, and less assured of that secret’s form, Darryl steps into what used to be called real life . . . Darryl is a disarmingly funny and unabashedly intelligent look at a community of people parsing masculinity, marriage, sex (and love) on their own terms. Published by Show more
