Bench Woman ReviewIt was my sister who, although a novice to Amazon reviewing, turned me on to this book; even though she has written only one review for Amazon, while I have thousands to my credit, I trust her judgment better than my own. So, since she raved about it, I went ahead and put down hard cash for my own copy. It was the right thing to do.Readers new to Sterinbach's writing will be wise to slow down and check your expectations at the door. He is not like those other writer guys and he comes to you without an agenda. His gentle, humorous, coming of age story will bring tears of recognition to other men who have been in the same boat as his hapless hero, lonesome Matthew, at 28 single and living an absolutely pointless life without any meaningful relationships. His closest friends are the waitresses at the coffee shops and diners he frequents obsessively. And women, too, will get a peek into the park of a man's psyche they never dared to investigate, how basically all we really care about is what cheap neighborhood place has the best meat loaf and where can you get really good beef fajitas.
One day he sees a beautiful woman in the park, sitting on a bench, and from then on in he's obsessed--but mildly, Matt is no Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver. Simultaneously he picks up the pace on his office relationship with gentle, haunted Claire, the secretary to an important company executive. Things progress on both fronts, and Matt gets out of town to kick up his heels a bit in Atlantic City, and again in Las Vegas--we can see him reaching out for the stars, if only to gamble, to get out of his own rut. Through an amazing coincidence he finds out the name of his crush, and then Claire asks him out on a date. Maybe this produces anxiety in him, because all of a sudden he agrees to go out on a blind date with the niece of a neighbor--a third woman--or a fourth if you count Jan English, the Julee Cruise-type chanteuse slash room dealer Matt rescues in Atlantic City. You wind up rooting for our boy to attain happiness, or at least to get his wick dipped, and if Sterinbach was just a little bit more adept at dialogue I would have given this novel the full five stars my sister did. It is the kind of story Hollywood studios used to buy for Jason Biggs when people still thought he was going to be the kind of star it turned out only Seth Rogen is.
One final p.s, I wonder if this story wasn't written years ago and dusted off more recently, since one thing I noticed is that no one ever seems to use a computer, get any e-mail, own a cell phone, or even look up anything online! Here you are, a 28 year old horndog with a big crush on a gorgeous unknown,and you find out her name accidentally--and it is an extremely unusual name so there's only one of her--wouldn't you google her, like, instantly? But not our guy, it's like he has ADHD.Bench Woman OverviewMatthew, a twenty eight year old insurance salesman, has his life dramatically altered when he glimpses a beautiful woman sitting next to him on a park bench during his lunch hour.From that moment forward, he fantasizes about a life with "Bench Woman."At the same time he develops a promising relationship with Claire, his co-worker.In the end, Matthew must choose between his fantasy relationship and his real one.
