520    'What are you feeling so anxious about? I'm the guy who 
       has to go out there and lose.' 'That's what I don't like. 
       That's what you don't realise. It's harder on the rest of 
       us.' 'I'm sure it must be,' he said. Tolstoy claimed: 'All
       happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy 
       in its own way'. But what if the happy families are 
       actually the most unusual of all? Paul Essinger is a mid-
       ranking tennis professional on the ATP tour. His 
       girlfriend Dana is an ex-model and photographer, and the 
       mother of their two-year-old son, Cal. Together they form 
       a tableau of the contented upper-middle-class New York 
       family. But summer storms are blowing through Manhattan, 
       and Paul's parents have come to stay in the build-up to 
       the US Open. Over the course of the weekend, several 
       generations of domestic tension are brought to boiling 
       point . . . What does it mean to be a family? To be an 
       individual? And how do we deal with the responsibilities 
       these roles impose upon us? A Weekend In New York 
       intertwines the politics of the household and the state to
       forge a luminous national portrait on a deceptively local 
       scale. Recalling some of America's most celebrated 
       novelists - this is John Updike's Rabbit for a new 
       generation - Benjamin Markovits' writing reminds us of the
       heights that social realism can reach
