The men in these tales frequently linger at the edges — their longings and failures exerting a subterranean pull on the women in their lives.\u003cbr\u003e In ‘The Secret Lives of Men’, a woman revisits her hometown and learns a long-held secret about her first boyfriend. In ‘The Bad Dog Park’, a man’s devotion to his dog ultimately forces him to confront his true hopes and fears. And in ‘The Other Side of the River’, we watch as a woman makes a snap decision about her life’s future direction, with devastating consequences for her family. Written in Blain’s trademark unadorned yet powerful prose, these stories resonate long after they are finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Secret Lives of Men\u003c\/i\u003e is an exceptional collection by one of Australia’s leading writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scribe Publications Party Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040133628144,"sku":"9781922070357","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781922070357_p0.jpg?v=1763635291","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781922070357","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
