You're Married to Her?

A 26-year-old unknown writer begins an affair with a glamorous older woman, an acclaimed poet/novelist. What she sees in a neurotic but sweet enough guy with a catastrophic imagination and an insatiable sex drive is apparent to no one, especially him. In a wildly self-skewering but infectiously affable voice, Wood reimagines his early years with his future wife, Marge Piercy, in a series of chronologically linked essays, never failing to raise the question that few failed to ask, You're Married to her?
