Here’s the set-up:

When his wife of twenty years leaves him for another man, Chuck Morgan is abruptly forced back into the single lifestyle. Middle-aged and helplessly adrift, Chuck longs for the life he thought he had. Now he worries he’ll never have a relationship again, that he could stand in the lobby of a brothel with a hundred dollar bill plastered to his forehead and still not get laid.

My Year as a Clown is the story of one man’s fumbling, funny, emotionally raw year of relearning to live on his own, a year that presents a minefield of new issues to navigate, including a lost job, awkward dates, even more awkward sex, and the spiritual advice of an offbeat, marijuana-smoking rabbi. As his life starts to unravel, Chuck must overcome his phobias and find his place in the unfamiliar world before him.

Praise for My Year as a Clown:

“With My Year as a Clown Robert Steven Williams has written a terrific novel. His book pulls back the curtain on male masculinity–showing us what a guy really goes through when dealing with the difficult mess of his beloved spouse’s infidelity and the ensuing divorce. Williams’ characters give us the real-deal: a gut wrenching and often humourous look, showing us the everyday horrors of what it’s like to start all over again as one approaches middle age.” – Suzan-Lori Parks, novelist, playwright and screenwriter. Winner, 2002 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Topdog/Underdog 

“Robert Steven Williams has written a novel of tremendous honesty, humor, and insight. His story of Philadelphia Eagles-loving Chuck Morgan, cast adrift on the rocky shoals of dating when his wife of twenty years suddenly leaves him, does for men what Bridget Jones’s Diary did for women.”  – Joy Johannesen, editor for Alice Sebold, Amy Bloom, Michael Cunningham and My Year as a Clown

“When we first meet Chuck Morgan, the main character in Robert Steven Williams’ new novel, My Year as a Clown, he’s broken, twisted and confused. And that’s what makes him so interesting. Like other intriguing literary heroes, Chuck is at his best after life has knocked him to the ground, forcing him to find a new way to be strong again; damaged maybe, but more confident this time, with a kinder, more open heart.” – Jimmie Dale Gilmore, singer-songwriter, founding member of The Flatlanders
