George & Hilly

A funny and intimate portrait of a relationshipgleaned from the author and his fiances couples therapy sessions.

After roughly three-and-a-half years of dating his girlfriend Hilly, New York Observer nightlife and society reporter George Gurley decided that it was time to get married. Well, engaged. No rush. One day at a time. George had witnessed New York husbands frail, meek, ashamed, and henpecked, pushing double wide strollers as their battle-ax wives babbled on about dinner with friendsand it wasnt for him.

Enter Dr. Selman: psychiatrist, obliging listener, and unwitting participant in Georges own journalistic projecta no-holds-barred portrait of intimacy taken from transcripts of the couples therapy sessions. George can be compared to a Carrie Bradshaw 2.0; that is, if Carrie were a hard drinking, ill-reputed man-about-town writing frankly about sex, love, marriage, and his own psychological baggage.

Hilarious, thought-provoking, and compelling, George & Hilly reveals the uncensored, unselfconscious psyche of a man on the brink of matrimony.
