Goes Deep into Humor and Pathos

Seventeen stories document men's search for, discovery of, and commitment to lasting love. The best reveal personal experiences that provide insight into particular aspects of the human heart. Standouts include Rick Moody's "Companion Species," about his emotional evolution from lonely cat-hater to happily married cat lover; David Sedaris's "Old Faithful," a hilarious battle with a boil; and Colin Harrison's moving "Incision," recounting his father's illness and death. The book is a poignant reminder that indeed, men are from Earth (not Mars), and love is both mysterious and necessary.

A wonderful anthology of men who love and stay faithful

I received this book as a gift from my fiancee-to-be, and I can't think of reading I've enjoyed more this year. Committed is a wonderful collection of testimonials from men about how they fell in love, and how they have stayed in love, in some cases for decades. In this book, 17 men let you in on their journeys of marriage, parenthood, fidelity and dealing with death in the family. Anyone, man or woman, who believes all men cheat, stray and lack the ability to stay monogamous should read this book and rejoice. Committed is proof positive that there are men who truly love their wives, and through the ups and downs of marriage, work hard at making their relationships last. This was terrific reading and a great gift I will TREASURE forever. Highly recommended, especially for a man who is on the brink of getting engaged, as I am.
