Présentation de l'éditeur :
When smart, successful, twenty-six-year-old Rachel Block loses her way in life, she takes a job as a bartender in her old Brooklyn neighbourhood - much to her parents' chagrin. Until now Rachel has always been the perfect daughter, getting good grades and dating nice Jewish boys. But as her 'quarter-life crisis' begins, she finds herself pulled in new and unexpected directions.
One night she meets Hank Powell, an iconoclastic screenwriter twice her age, and finds herself falling head over heels. Suddenly she's reassessing her values, her surroundings and everything she's ever believed about the 'right' kind of relationship. Meanwhile, her interactions with her father have become increasingly strange: he's doing sit-ups and listening to The Strokes. Is he having his own (midlife) crisis? Something's up...and Rachel's convinced it might be her old man's libido. From one of America's smartest and sauciest young writers - a female, Gen X Philip Roth - MY OLD MAN is an outrageous comedy about sex in the city's bawdiest borough.

"A beautiful writer with equal megadoses of heart and heat, Sohn has produced a perfectly pitched tale of love, lust and the mysterious, comical verities that forever link -- and separate -- the two."
-- Jerry Stahl
"Chatty, clever, and bawdy enough to be refreshingly realistic....Sohn shines as a writer who can tell a snappy story--and what that story means. By book's end she has learned (and so have we) a little about growing up, falling in love, even faith."
-- The Philadelphia Inquirer
"[A] fresh and irreverent comic voice."
-- The Boston Globe
"A comic whirlwind...the author has a sharp and playful eye."
-- The New York Times Book Review
