Tell Me About Women

This pulpy novel was written by Harry Reasoner -- yes, the famed, erudite TV newsman -- when he was just 22 years old and was published in 1946, when he left the army. The Palm Beach Post called it an "outstandingly good piece of work that foreshadows a real literary future" Alas, it was to be his first and only novel, forgotten among his many journalistic accomplishments. Joe Wilson is a tough, cynical reporter whose life is all bourbon, beer and easy blondes. But then Maris Nordeen, warm-hearted, self-assured and golden blonde, blows into his life and changes everything, leading to a rollercoaster courtship, a whirlwind marriage and then a slow, tortuous awakening to the harrowing reality of their young lives. "Reasoner has done a superb picture of a selfish, self-centered, highly desirable, and sexy young woman. He writes with journalistic directness and simplicity but with definite impact." Palm Beach Post "The book is partly autobiographical, and follows the pattern of a lot of novels from the period-war, discharge, disillusionment, and troubled relations with the opposite sex." Pulp International Harry Reasoner (April 17, 1923 - August 6, 1991) is perhaps best known for hosting the ABC Nightly News and CBS' 60 Minutes.
