Book Review: “Set for Life” by Andrew Ewell
<p>There seems to be a new trend lately in novels being published, usually by first-time male writers, about men who are, in some capacity, outright failures as human beings. In <a href="https://zachary-houle.medium.com/book-review-the-golem-of-brooklyn-by-adam-mansbach-2f63c11cbaaf" rel="noopener"><em>The Golem of Brooklyn</em></a>, a young man gets stoned and creates a giant golem out of clay that comes to life. In <a href="https://zachary-houle.medium.com/book-review-the-men-cant-be-saved-by-ben-purkert-8aeac48ea4f8" rel="noopener"><em>The Men Can’t Be Saved</em></a>, a junior copywriter loses his job and then pursues (some may say stalks) a woman to a neighbouring state. Well, in the forthcoming <em>Set for Life</em> (which sneakily shares a title with a real-life get-rich-quick self-help book), a man fails at writing a novel on a trip to France and comes back to New York City and environs to only sleep with his best friend’s wife. That’s the crux of this novel, which goes on to show how — spoiler alert! — this man will proceed to lose everything that’s in any way meaningful to him: his marriage, his job, his way of living. </p>
