Men giving money, women yelling

Men Giving Money, Women Yelling is a collection of stories in which the characters' lives are told in tales that overlap or echo one another in some way. At the center of the stories is Denny Ring, a young man nobody quite knows. Other characters include John Corey, a contractor who renovates old houses in New Haven, Connecticut; his younger brother, Eugene, a volunteer in a soup kitchen; and his older brother, Cameron, a lawyer specializing in "obnoxious law."

First sentence: TODAY WAS THE happiest day of my life so far, even though it didn't include actual sex or the World Series, and even though as usual people are suffering in places famous for trouble and also of course in every other place.
