All That Man Is: A Novel

"Nine stories of nine European men, in European countries not of their birth. Nine uncomfortable stories of men at their smallest, their weakest, their loneliest, obsessing about love (or the lack thereof) and wealth (or the lack or loss thereof). It doesn’t sound like much of a feast, but these tales are unwrapped so gently and so without judgement, they make these lost men utterly human (and even somewhat likable)."
