More About This Book

Overview

In her newest book, the best-selling author of The Erotic Silence of the American Wife examines a rising trend in today's relationships—the coupling of high-achieving women with weaker men she terms "drama kings," who are drawn to the women's strength but ultimately attempt to sabotage it. These men create chaos in relationships, driving women crazy in the process. Weaving examples from history, literature, and popular culture with clinical research she has conducted over several decades, Heyn details the telling traits of drama kings—and arms women with strategies to extricate themselves from these toxic relationships.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Based on interviews with 100 middle-class women, Heyn (The Erotic Silence of the American Wife) explores yet another classification of dysfunctional males. Drama Kings are defined as men who have remained "[s]tuck in a my-needs-come-first understanding of relationships." According to the author, women are getting stronger while Drama Kings, afraid of attachment and commitment, create scenes that sabotage intimacy. Heyn presents four categories of these losers, but their descriptions sound like old complaints about men forced into new packaging. The Visitor is a loner who believes "the way to a woman's heart is through her genitals." The Proprietor is a jealous bully who demands constant attention. In contrast, the Easy-going Guy makes up fake girlfriends in order to avoid moving forward in a relationship. The Hit and Run Lover pretends to want closeness, but leaves without warning if there is the smallest problem. Heyn's upbeat message is that, although women can be tricked by Drama Kings, they often leave them, emerging stronger from the encounter and ready for an independent life. Self-help devotees may be engaged by the author's anecdotal style, but her stance that she is writing a feminist text to support strong women rather than a simple relationship guide is not fully convincing. Agent, Joni Evans. (Nov. 2) Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
Library Journal
Best known for her two previous books, The Erotic Silence of the American Wife and Marriage Shock, Heyn is back with another provocative look at a rising trend-the coupling of high-achieving women with weaker men who are alternately drawn to the woman's strength and seeking to sabotage it. Heyn calls these men "drama kings" because they tend to sweep women off their feet-see Heathcliff, Rhett Butler, or Big in Sex & the City-but can't share power or the intimacy that true love requires. Women are shown how to extricate themselves from these types and build new, fulfilling bonds with their bad experiences. Heyn has traversed new self-help turf; her latest will prove popular wherever there are strong women. Recommended for most libraries. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
