In 1975, Paul and Roz Mellow write a bestselling <I>Joy of Sex</i>-type book that mortifies their four school-aged children and ultimately changes the shape of the family forever. Thirty years later, as the now dispersed family members argue over whether to reissue the book, we follow the complicated lives of each of the grown children and their conflicts in love, work, marriage, parenting, and, of course, sex -- all shadowed by the indelible specter of their highly sexualized parents. Insightful, panoramic, and compulsively readable, <I>The Position</i> is an American original. 522314 6 6 2005 The Position: A Novel total:554|5:53|4:156|3:228|2:88|1:29| 554 1778 801 110 424320 074326178X 9780743261784 72 15 3.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174619762m/424320.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/424320.The_Position 4 3 false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 06 07:44:07 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 23 13:02:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 534821 0743261801 9780743261807 474 93 3.21 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175611579m/534821.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/534821.The_Position_A_Novel 3 1 false Fri Mar 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Feb 18 13:11:52 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 14 06:12:23 -0700 2008
