What she saw in a neurotic, sexually na ve, poorly educated but very sweet guy was apparent to no one, especially him. Using a wildly self-skewering but oddly sympathetic narrative voice that fulfills \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e' assessment of his special gift for heartwarming comedy, Ira Wood re-imagines his early years with Marge Piercy in a series of chronologically linked essays, never failing to raise the question that few have failed to ask: You're married to \u003ci\u003eHer\u003c\/i\u003e?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the brazen candor of Toby Young's \u003ci\u003eHow to Lose Friends and Alienate People\u003c\/i\u003e and the wicked lunacy of David Sedaris, Wood tells tales of his first true love, who he told his parents were dead; his disastrous affair with a promiscuous single mother, while he was involved with Piercy; his childhood dependence on speed; and running for public office on a lark--and winning--only to find himself responsible for the government of a small town. Thirty years later he's still married to Her, confident enough to share, and laugh at, what men do when their behavior slips to the level of their self-esteem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIra Wood\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of two novels and the co-author, with Marge Piercy, of two highly acclaimed books, a novel and a writing text.
