DescriptionMan Cave is a novel about the façades that men construct in order to escape their lives. Pete, a suburban professional with a family, is desperately trying to construct a “man cave,” a getaway in his basement where he can cool off from the pressures of modern life. Andy, a disturbed, alcoholic carpenter, is obsessed with knives and has built an underground home in the forest behind Pete’s house. When they meet, each man’s strengths covers the other’s deficiencies, but only for so long. Eventually, even the most carefully built façade crumbles.
