Life in a Marital Institution: Twenty Years of Monogamy in One Terrifying Memoir

James Braly

4.9/5 (24424 ratings)

Description:Inside a manic, messed-up marriage, from the very winning point of view of the tortured husband, based on Braly’s one-man show The marriage memoir—from Isabel Gillies’s It Happens Every Day to Julie Metz’s Perfection—has been a balm to beleaguered wives everywhere. But who speaks for the husbands? In this sharp, funny glimpse into a very unusual marriage, sensitive, bedraggled, decent James Braly earns the job. His marriage to a woman so unsuitable for him that their very first meeting—where she corrects the handwriting he uses to write her prized name and number on a slip of paper—sends him into the fetal position is both fascinating and casually shocking by turns. The scenes from Braly’s marriage are wrapped around the story of where he came from: a colorful, kooky family that includes a fierce fighter pilot dad, a debutante heiress mom, and a delightfully druggy sister dying in a Houston hospice, and who’d rather be dead than married to Anne, who:- Breastfeeds her children until they are 6 and 7 years old- Holds forth at a dinner party describing the many excellent recipes for . . . placenta ("I know we used a spice that begins with a ‘C’. What was it? Oh, I know: cumin! So delicious that way.")- Efficiently emasculates our author at every turn, finally kicking him out of the “family bed” in favor of her two precious boysBraly’s one-man show of the same name is currently touring the country, sponsored by Meredith Vieira Productions, which has optioned the show for film and television rights.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
