What makes a man want to leave the single life behind? Why do some married men stay the course, while others stray? In this gathering of compelling contemporary voices, the answers come as men speak intimately about the struggles-and joys-of finding and remaining in a committed relationship. Whether it's a confession of sexual misconduct, or of the poker like bluffs that create the happy illusion of monogamy; whether it's Rick Moody on the surprising way he changed his position on marriage, or David Sedaris on how not to let your partner grow overly familiar; or Geoff Dyer, John Seabrook, James McManus, and many others on what defines (and tests) the journey to lasting love, these celebrated authors explore aspects of themselves-bravely, humorously, profoundly-that they've never before revealed. Together, they provide essential wisdom for men and women alike on the ritual of mating, and rare insight into the hearts and minds of men who commit. Chris Knutsen is an articles editor at GQ. Formerly, he worked at the New Yorker and Riverhead Books. David Kuhn is a book packager and literary agent in New York City. He has been the editor-in-chief of Brill's Content, features director of The New Yorker, and a senior editor at Vanity Fair. Excerpts from Committed: Men Tell Stories of Love, Commitment, and Marriage "A retriever knows more than I knew about love, fidelity, and commitment. And the person who was suffering most for all my arguments was me...I was the one crashing every party I could find on Saturday nights, drunker and drunker, hoping that somebody would just hold me, or consent to be held, even as I sneered at the pool of available hostages."-Rick Moody, "Companion Species"

"Marriage will find all of us eventually, just as molten lava found each and every citizen of Pompeii."-Andy Borowitz, "The Five Stages of Marriage"

"When we finally broke up I felt like a failure, a divorced person. I now had what the self-help books called relationsh
