Fleishman Is in Trouble is a 2019 novel by American author Taffy Brodesser-Akner. The debut novel was published on June 18, 2019, by Random House. It tells the story of a Manhattan couple undergoing a bitter divorce. Brodesser-Akner also wrote the screenplay for a television miniseries based on the novel, which was released on Hulu in 2022. - Wikipedia

Male sexuality is seen from a feminist perspective and a condemnation of marriage as a trap for both men and women, but especially the latter. A very different book from those I usually read, set in a moneyed New York world I have never experienced. Recommended.
