Turning thirty leaves scars. It’s like watching the odometer roll over on your car. For Kevin Andrews, the morning of his thirtieth birthday signals another nail in his coffin. When his wife tells him that morning that she’s pregnant, Kevin knows that his days of youth are quickly coming to an end. In an attempt to recapture those glory days, Kevin embarks on a trek to make Odysseus hang his head in shame. Kevin meets drunken neighbors, receives advice from an old hippy, and nearly ruins his marriage when he runs into an old girlfriend. This novel simply proves what women already know. Men are idiots.
Winner of the 2007 Royal Palm Literary Award for Humor.
“A delightful look at the crisis of turning thirty in a society that glorifies youth and beauty. This book has all the elements of a good read— characters you like, solid plot, dialogue that is intelligent and often uproarious, and a theme that is relevant to anyone who has ever been thirty. Benyacko writes with a pen dipped in laughter.”
---Maynard Allington (THE GREY WOLF)
"Not since Bobbie Ann Mason's 'Shiloh' and John Updike's 'Rabbit Is Rich' has any fiction writer evoked the water table of a male-female struggle. You will shout blue fingers at Kevin, at times a relationship idiot, but in the last choral syllables of his love, bold and true, you will cheer out loud."
---Carl S. Horner (A HOLE IN THE WIND)
"Scott has done a fantastic job. . .. funny and brilliant."
