Casanova Wept tells the plight of a man of forty living in an open, permissive marriage that is in the process of painfully dissolving. Joe O's great love, Cali, has moved out and she is growing more distant every day. Joe's quest to understand what caused their bond to crack is dramatized against a montage of past and present hookups in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Paris. The tales can be riotously funny, ridiculous, embarrassing, sad. Colorful characters dip in and out of the frame, some to return and play more important roles, and some fleeting. At its heart, this novel offers a penetrating deconstruction of manhood, love, and desire, through the lens of a confused but highly sensitive protagonist. It is raw, honest, and irreverent.
