Wow - this book was written in 1995 and I just read it in 2026. It had been sitting on my shelves for many years and I finally decided to delve into it.
Then after reading (I always read the reviews AFTER I read the book) I found there NO reviews of the book on this site in 31 years! Just a few number reviews which didn't help at all.
Well, let me just say: It was an interesting collections of short stories all related to men (hence, the title). Each story was written in a different year in the life of a man.
The endings all left you hanging a bit - but for some, you could sort of realize what happened next. It was odd. Some made you "think."
I liked that I could read one of the stories and put the book down to be picked up later. That's about all I can say.
