| Publisher Description: When his marriage and career fall apart, a young lawyer sets out on a desperate mission to recapture the promise of his youth. His attempt leaves him stranded between a past he no longer recognizes and a life that's no longer his, and he soon begins to suspect that the surest path to happiness lies in simply giving up. Losing Is What Matters is a moving, tragicomic novel about defeat, memory, and the seductive prospect of losing it all. |
