Description
"Committed gives women a rare insight into what the other half really thinks."-Candace Bushnell
In these original essays, seventeen celebrated authors give a private tour of the male psyche and discuss the journey to lasting love. Exploring aspects of themselves that they've never revealed before, they provide essential wisdom for men and women alike on the ritual of mating, and a look inside the hearts and minds of men who commit.
Chris Knutsen is the Deputy Editor at Radar magazine. David Kuhn is the founder of Kuhn Projects, a literary agency in New York City.
"For women frustrated by their husbands or boyfriends, or by the plethora of guides that claim to decipher the male psyche, this anthology offers a fresh perspective."-Publishers Weekly
"Funny, sometimes even profound, these authors offer an amusing road map to that strange and winding road from bachelorhood to marriage."-Tampa Tribune
