by Willem Lange

Master storyteller Willem Lange has collected his ruminations on relationships to create Intermittent Bliss, a wry, charming look at everything from love at first sight and courtship to marriage, parenthood, and empty-nest syndrome. Laced with Lange's signature trenchant wit, it's a thoroughly enjoyable examination of holy matrimony at its best--and at its worst. He ponders the nuances of marital discord, bemoans the stresses of family travel, and endures the trials of roughing it--together--in the New Hampshire woods. Better still, he delights in the rewards of a long and rich relationship with that one irresistible person, reflects on the meaning of fidelity and trust, and takes infinite joy in sharing with a partner life's day-to-day triumphs and achievements. Lange's fans will welcome this enchanting addition to his published works, and new readers will quickly realize why his sparkling, iconoclastic wit has made him an admired writer and local personality.
