Description: A family gets lost in the shuffle of reimagining their lives in this dark, domestic sci-fi comedy. Claire and Mark are stuck in the doldrums of an unhappy marriage. She chain-smokes and refuses to leave the house or even change out of her bathrobe. He sleeps on the couch and can t distinguish one day from the next. With all love lost for family life, pizza and Chinese food take turns on a nightly take-out dinner menu. Husband and wife are plagued by the idea that this is all a dream. Why can t Mark ever remember their son s name? Isn t he a barber? Doesn t he play in a band? Why is Claire obsessively stalking her ex-boyfriend online? When exactly did she stop caring about what the kids wear to school? And just why can t she be bothered to tell the other mums at pick-up apart? Didn t Claire and Mark have different lives? As reports of an imminent nuclear war make subtle waves on the radio, the truth begins to dawn on them Paul B. Rainey s critically-acclaimed sleeper hit returns in supple paperback with an all-new cover. Why Don t You Love Me? is a hilariously terrifying meditation on mourning lost opportunities, rolling with the punches, and confronting reality as it turns on you one day at a time. Rainey's tightly plotted relationship drama shifts into a science-fiction mindblower and keeps you surprised until the final heartbreaking panel.
