What is The Alibi Breakfast about?

Eight years ago, readers were invited to accompany Maurice Locksley on his rounds, as he paid court to his wife, his ex-wife, and his mistress in dizzying succession. THE MARRIAGE HEARSE, his account of that wild winter's night, was judged one of the funniest, smartest, and most generous novels about marriage from a male point of view. (Phyllis Rose, in The Nation) Locksley himself was by turns so cocky, so self-deprecating, and so funny that it is impossible not to like him. (Publishers Weekly) Most surprisingly, perhaps, the book, according to The New York Times Book Review, was above all a love story, and a rather touching one at that. Now, eight years older in THE ALIBI BREAKFAST, Locksley is still Laugh-out-loud funny (Bloomsbury Review) but not nearly so cocky as he contemplates the possibility that his riches are reduced to a single woman-or is it even worse than that? Certainly it is worse when he considers his work as an author, which has become unpopular and non-existent, in that order. Even his health is precarious. And his three children, so realistically drawn in the earlier volume, have grown into vivid emotional lives of their own. chapters of this bittersweet summer
