Dashing Lord Harry Traemore is perfectly content to live out his days in the pursuit of pleasure. But when he's named by the Prince Regent as one of society's "Impossible Bachelors," Harry is drafted into a ribald romantic wager. The rules of engagement are scandalously simple: The bachelor whose mistress wins the title of "Most Delectable Companion" gets to remain unmarried. Harry is utterly unconcerned about his status...until his latest lightskirt abandons him. Enter Lady Molly Fairbanks. Harry's childhood friend— actually, "foe" is more like it—is the most unlikely companion of all. She's attractive but hot-headed, and in no mood for games. Besides, what could the self-indulgent Harry possibly know about what makes a woman delectable? It's time for Molly to teach him a lesson once and for all...but will it lead to "happily ever after"?

From immigrant ghetto love stories such as The Cohens and the Kellys (1926), through romantic comedies including Meet the Parents (2000) and Knocked Up (2007), to television series such as Transparent (2014–), Jewish-Christian couplings have been a staple of popular culture for over a century. In these pairings, Joshua Louis Moss argues, the unruly screen Jew is the privileged representative of progressivism, secular modernism, and the cosmopolitan sensibilities of the mass-media age. But his/her unruliness is nearly always contained through romantic union with the Anglo-Christian partner. This Jewish-Christian meta-narrative has recurred time and again as one of the most powerful and enduring, although unrecognized, mass-culture fantasies. Using the innovative framework of coupling theory, Why Harry Met Sally surveys three major waves of Jewish-Christian couplings in popular American literature, theater, film, and television. Moss explores how first-wave European and American creators in the early twentieth century used such couplings as an extension of modernist sensibilities and the American “melting pot.” He then looks at how New Hollywood of the late 1960s revived these couplings as a sexually provocative response to the political conservatism and representational absences of postwar America. Finally, Moss identifies the third wave as emerging in television sitcoms, Broadway musicals, and “gross-out” film comedies to grapple with the impact of American economic globalism since the 1990s. He demonstrates that, whether perceived as a threat or a triumph, Jewish-Christian couplings provide a visceral, easily graspable, template for understanding the rapid transformations of an increasingly globalized world.

*An Instant New York Times Bestseller!* A memoir of love and loss, of being in the right place at the right time, and of the mysterious ways a beloved pet can bring people together, from CBS Sunday Morning News correspondent and multi-Emmy-Award-winning Martha Teichner. There are true fairy tales. Stories that exist because impossible-to-explain coincidences change everything. Except in real life, not all of them have conventional, happily-ever-after endings. When Harry Met Minnie is that kind of fairy tale, with the vibrant, romantic New York City backdrop of its namesake, the movie When Harry Met Sally, and the bittersweet wisdom of Tuesdays with Morrie. There’s a special camaraderie among early-morning dog walkers. Gathering at dog runs in the park, or strolling through the farmer's market at Union Square before the bustling crowd appears, fellow pet owners become familiar–as do the personalities of their beloved animals. In this special space and time, a chance encounter with an old acquaintance changed Martha Teichner’s world. As fate would have it, her friend knew someone who was dying of cancer, from exposure to toxins after 9/11, and desperate to find a home for her dog, Harry. He was a Bull Terrier—the same breed as Martha’s dear Minnie. Would Martha consider giving Harry a safe, loving new home? In short order, boy dog meets girl dog, the fairy tale part of this story. But there is so much more to this book. After Martha agrees to meet Harry and his owner Carol, what begins as a transaction involving a dog becomes a deep and meaningful friendship between two women with complicated lives and a love of Bull Terriers in common. Through the heartbreak and grief of Carol’s illness, the bond that develops changed Martha’s life, Carol’s life, Minnie’s life, Harry’s life. As it changed Carol’s death as well. In this rich and touching narrative, Martha considers the ways our stories are shaped by the people we meet, and the profound love we can find by opening our hearts to unexpected encounters.

Un hombre, una mujer, dos seres que se odian desde que tienen uso de razón, una apuesta más que indecente y una llama ardiente que consume a ambos en las distancias cortas. Humor satírico y enredos inteligentes. Una novedosa aportación para el romance histórico. Harry Traemor está más que encantado con su vida de soltero, libre como el viento, pasa sus días sin preocupaciones y a la búsqueda del placer. Pero todo eso está a punto de cambiar cuando recibe un requerimiento para presentarse ante el Príncipe Regente al igual que los otros miembros de la sociedad de Los solteros imposibles. El príncipe les ha reunido con la intención de proponerles una obscena apuesta. Las reglas son simplemente escandalosas: el soltero cuya amante gane el título de «Compañera más deliciosa» conservará su estado un año más. Harry, que hasta ahora no le había echado cuentas a esto, se ve en la tesitura de conservar su soltería o casarse con la dama elegida por el Regente, es por ello que estará dispuesto a lo que sea con tal de no tener que casarse. ¿Quién ganará esta alocada apuesta? Desde luego pocas papeletas tiene la señorita Molly Fairbanks, quien se ha visto envuelta en este juego de la forma más absurda. La pequeña amiga de Harry, mejor dicho, su archi-enemiga desde la infancia, tendrá que ocupar el puesto de amante de Harry durante el mes que dura la apuesta. Pese a su atractivo y sus exquisitos modales, Harry sabe que tiene pocas opciones de ganar con ella. ¿Qué sabrá Molly acerca de lo que debería mostrar una mujer para convertirse en ese ser delicioso que gane la competición? Todo lo que ella sabe es que está en sus manos, en las manos de un hombre que la odia por culpa de un nimio incidente cuando eran niños, que jamás la perdonará por ello y que su reputación quedará por los suelos si algo de todo esto llega un día a saberse.
