A wicked Richleresque satire about a charismatic advertising executive and the three beautiful women who turn his life upside down. Julius Roebuck is the creative director of a successful ad agency, husband to the headstrong Anne, and father to three lively children. He is also the attentive lover of a poet named Lily. When his wife's beautiful friend Yasmin announces her plan to get pregnant and describes him as the perfect sperm donor, Julius is startled at first. Then he decides that if she wants his DNA, she must also want him. Julius would have no trouble hopping into bed with Yasmin, but more children are out of the question. When he has a secret vasectomy to ensure there are no mistakes, his already-complicated life spirals out of control ... Fire in the Firefly is a wickedly funny satire about love, relationships, and the perennial war between the sexes.… (més)

I'm a Scott Gardiner fan...he appeals to my sense of humour.

In this novel, Julius Roebuck is the creative director of a successful ad agency. His condom marketing strategy is highly creative and had me laughing! Julius is a devoted father, to his three children, contentedly (if not entirely happily) married to Anne . He has a mistress (Lily) whom he cares deeply about, but is concerned that she may be longing for a child. And Anne's best friend (Yasmin) is unable to find a husband and has asked Julius to donate his sperm to her. Julius decides to have a secret vasectomy and then his life really gets out of control...

A funny book, but never more than a little implausible. The characters are well developed, real people, not caricatures. Recommended for a light but still satisfying read. ( )
