Summary:

Hal Sirowitz's new collection, "Before, During & After, is all about the one world its title leaves out: sex. Hal shares the ups and downs of his romantic history from adolescence to adulthood and lets his girlfriends do most of the talking--the one with the perfect ass, the one who still lives with her ex, the one who demands a signed statement from his therapist, the celibate, the one who gives his penis a Spanish name, and all the rest. Sometimes Hal strikes out, sometimes he gets lucky, but he kisses and tells in the inimitable Sirowitz style that has inspired hilarity and Hal-O-Mania from New York to Norway. "Before, During & After joins Hal's previous books "Mother Said and "My Therapist Said to form a trilogy of side-splitting, honest, and unforgettable glimpses into the life of everybody's favorite pessimist.
