What is The Weekend Man about?
"The "weekend man" is one who is fairly certain tomorrow will be blah and merely hopes for some "painless diversions" -- which is the total pursuit of a young man in this soft and genial, occasionally touching, Canadian first novel. The life of Wes Wakefield is ordinary, extravagantly so -- in fact it's a matter mainly of the boys at the office (an educational publisher, dull from door to door); an impressive spread of the Shopping Plaza which Wes' apartment overlooks and its inevitable eatery, The Skipper's Table (Mr. Wright leaves no scone unturned); the Tudor house-and-briefcase visions of his estranged wife Molly and another girl in his past; deadly parties."--Kirkus
