For male baby-boomers, the forties is the decade of truth. Life’s vista is no longer endless; the career path becomes steeper; mistakes become more difficult to correct; bodies begin to show their age; the world no longer looks like an oyster. In MIDLIFEMAN, Larry Krotz, a writer just approaching 50, looks back on his passage through his forties. Twenty-four provocative essays speak to the worries, hopes, and reflections of millions of forty-something American men: the realization that your friends suddenly rule the world; the illness and death of parents; watching your children turn into adults; and the rules of romance.

Larry Krotz teaches creative writing at the University of Winnipeg and produces documentary films. He is the author of four books, most recently Tourists: How Our Fastest Growing Industry is Changing the World (Faber & Faber, 1996).
