Harcourt, Brace, & Company

Compassionate understanding and humor illuminate this understated yet dazzling work (Publishers Weekly)-a compelling parable in which two sisters find, among the neglected virtues of the past, a sustenance to carry them into the future. A fine, unnerving little hermeneutic of love (Village Voice).

Rootie Kazootie (Harvest Book)

Harvest Books

In “one of the most endearing books about family life ever penned” (Washington Post Book World), Lawrence Naumoff writes with “effortless-looking brilliance” (Reynolds Price) about a couple careering toward a holiday meltdown after thirty years of married madness.

Good-hearted Walter is convinced that all women, like his mother and sister, sacrifice their hopes and desires for the men in their lives. An aging bachelor, Walter is still looking for that perfectly pure woman whom he can rescue from the inevitable corruption of men. He thinks he's found her. Many years his junior, Louise is sweet, and more important, innocent. All is bliss in their young marriage, as they live equally and happily in their North Carolina farmhouse. But when Louise's past resurfaces in the form of a sleazy, manipulative ex-boyfriend, will Walter's faith in his new wife survive the shock, or will Louise fall victim to the enduring plan for women? Writing about women and men with brutal, unflinching honesty, Lawrence Naumoff strikes a nerve in this tale of illusory love. A novel about the failure of the sexual revolution, A Plan for Women is "a thoughtful story written in a style both crisp and clever." (Kirkus Reviews)

The story of an emergency-room physician who likes to save women but loses interest when they become strong. Naumoff focuses on a world where women seem taller than they used to be, men seem to be falling short, and life seems stranger. Harvest American Writing series
