“It’s undoubtedly possible to read this book without knowing that Kinder was a close friend of Raymond Carver. But many of those who pick up this volume about two bad-boy American writers in the making will recognize the general outline of Carver’s life…. If Honeymooners doesn’t make you laugh, cry, and cringe with sympathetic embarrassment, then you should probably adjust your medication immediately….” —Jay McInerney

First published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux in 2001, Chuck Kinder’s story of a love triangle among writers in 1970s California has become a cult classic, notably inspiring Kinder’s former student Michael Chabon’s Wonder Boys. This second edition of this literary classic includes two new chapters and an introduction by Jay McInerney.
