Why so many of the best books I read this year seemed to be about marriage

Hanukkah came late. Christmas will presumably arrive on time. They didn't teach us about Kwanzaa when I was a kid, but my grandson, who has learned all about it this year in pre-K, has kept me up to date. And, of course, there's Festivus for the rest of us.

For maybe two-thirds of the book, Brodesser-Akner, who writes wonderful profiles for The New York Times magazine, somehow managed to find time to write a very funny and very smart Philip Roth-influenced novel on Toby Fleishman, a schlub whose marriage to high-powered Rachel, has blown up. Fleishman, a full-time doctor also in charge of attending to their two kids whose mother has seemingly abandoned them, finds his career stunted in a way many working mothers will recognize.
