“Fleishman in pieces”. Now in the miniseries they pull more divorces than adulterers

Due out February 22, the storyline is based on the novel by Taffy Brodesser-Akner, who writes portraits for The New York Times and has been compared to Philip Roth. The contest of talents has its effect and the episodes are rhythmic and fast

It is no longer adultery that provides the narrative plots, it happened in the 1800s. Now it is divorces that are taking up space. In the novels and series: “Fleishman in Pieces” is based on the novel by Taffy Brodesser Akner (Einaudi Free Style). Born in Brooklyn into an Orthodox Jewish family, she writes portraits for the New York Times – portraits, not the boring back-and-forth interviews, a competitor reporter called her “A Michelangelo of magazine profiles”. Toby Fleishman (the very good Jesse Eisenberg) was dumped by his wife Claire Danes: blonde and cold, she doesn’t even answer the phone. They have two children – a physics genius and a young social climber who is ashamed to be seen on the bus by schoolmates. He’s a doctor in New York, hearing the news his colleagues let him discover the wonderful world of dating apps. For this the writer was compared to Philip Roth – it was 2019, you could do it without fear of being pulped.
