The story
In 1986, arrogant, twice-divorced, failing novelist Bernard Berkman lives in Park Slope, Brooklyn with his third wife, Joan, and their two sons, sixteen-year-old Walt, and twelve-year-old Frank.
Meanwhile, Joan has begun publishing her own work to widespread acclaim, creating tension between them.
Joan begins dating Frank's tennis instructor, Ivan, while Bernard begins an inappropriate relationship with one of his students, Lili, even going as far as to allow her to move in with him.
