The Castle: Adventures in a World of Unraveling Men by Jon Ronson begins as a quirky tale about a suspicious millionaire living in a baronial New England estate — and expands into an examination why some men  fall to pieces or hurt others when they are without purpose.

The Castle has been called "provocative and disturbing" (Kirkus) and praised for its "fantastic dry wit and tiptoe-through-the-tulips style" (NYT). It's a funny, weird, intriguing title and it's our book of the month for November.
