TWICE AROUND A MARRIAGE is a delightful and insightful look at a mature man and woman attempting to navigate a marriage, after trying it earlier in their lives (to each other). Who better to guide us through these twists and turns than a Pulitzer Prize winner with plenty of personal experience on the subject. Butler's writing has dazzled readers for decades, and this witty, heartfelt refreshingly human story may well be his best. The book blends humor and tenderness, and reminds us that relationships (like novels) are full of surprises - and sometimes the best chapters come later than expected.

ROBERT OLEN BUTLER (pictured below from our Wall of Fame) and The Alabama Booksmith have a great relationship. Not just because the Pulitzer Prize winner is one of the great literary minds of this generation, nor because he launches every book tour at our store, not even because he acknowledged us in one of his books and actually wrote part of it here. At his launch a while back, he stole one of our booksellers, and married her. Thank you Robert Olen Butler for signing our books.
