Without a Stitch in Time by Peter De Vries
Follows the interactions of a socially insecure, pun-loving family man, an officious lady caseworker from an adoption agency, and a chauvinist pig - all suburban neighbors who know far too much about one another's private lives in this goofy and gently hilarious tale of marital quibbles.
One of my favorite books ever(John Green, on The Blood of the Lamb) The funniest serious writer to be found on either side of the Atlantic. (Kingsley Amis)
Peter De Vries (1910-93) was the man responsible for contributing to the cultural vernacular such witticisms as "Nostalgia ain't what it used to be" and "Deep down, he's shallow." He was the author of many books, including the classics Slouching Towards Kalamazoo and The Blood of the Lamb, both also published by the University of Chicago Press.
