("In today's fast-moving, transient, rootless society, where people meet and make love and part without ever really touching, the relationship every guy already has with his own mother is too valuable to ignore. Here is a grown, experienced, loving woman...") A collection of Ian Frazier's <i>New Yorker</i> pieces from the 1970s and '80s, it's a tremendous book. Frazier is undoubtedly one of the finest living humorists--a Thurber Prize-winner--and <i>Dating Your Mom</i> is what cemented his reputation. His jokes are turned just so, and if the subject matter can be a little elliptical, (as in the story "Bob's Bob House") that flaw is more than excused by the guffaws that surround it. 808748 1986 Dating Your Mom total:43|5:9|4:16|3:11|2:5|1:2| 43 154 63 1 2 0 false false Sun Feb 24 23:32:17 -0800 2008 Fri Jul 17 10:45:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 17:20:48 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 17:20:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 21 10:01:31 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 10:01:31 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jun 19 08:26:12 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 08:26:12 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Jul 04 10:29:14 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 13:23:56 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 10:29:14 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jun 03 13:21:20 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 13:21:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 15 18:13:11 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 18:17:43 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Apr 24 12:43:03 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 12:43:03 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Fri Mar 20 11:30:44 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 11:30:44 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Mar 12 11:27:18 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 12 11:27:18 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Feb 09 03:34:07 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 09 03:34:07 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Fri Feb 06 06:37:31 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 06:37:31 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Feb 05 22:08:33 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 05 22:08:33 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 04 17:37:33 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 04 17:37:33 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 29 19:11:11 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 19:11:11 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 07 06:46:51 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 07 06:46:51 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Jan 02 16:55:12 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 16:55:12 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sat Dec 27 19:16:13 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 27 19:16:13 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Mon Nov 24 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 16:53:39 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 16:54:30 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Oct 30 20:46:05 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 20:46:09 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=257376
