Fleishman Is in Trouble A Novel

Recently separated Dr. Toby Fleishman, a 41-year-old hepatologist, finds unexpected sexual liberation through dating apps following the end of his nearly fifteen-year marriage to Rachel, a high-powered talent agent. His newfound equilibrium is shattered when Rachel abruptly drops off their two children, Hannah and Solly, at his apartment during an unscheduled time and disappears, leaving him to juggle his patients, his parental duties, and his dating life while receiving no communication from her. Toby clings to his tidy narrative of being the spurned husband with the overly ambitious wife, which serves as his only consolation as he frantically tries to figure out where Rachel went. However, to truly understand what happened to Rachel and his marriage, Toby is forced to confront the possibility that his perspective on their relationship and his own life may have been flawed all along. The novel is a searing, insightful, and often hilarious exploration of contemporary marriage, divorce, and identity.
