"BEHIND EVERYMAN: A NOVEL FOR GUYS AND THE WOMEN WHO RESCUE THEM

by David Israel is an endearing, deftly written tale about a clumsy
guy--and it sticks with you, despite its slim size. In the "dick lit"
canon, it's less copycat Nick Hornby, more fresh, witty insight into
the life of someone you might know." Ballantine, $12.95 -- Kelly Bare
