The Hairdresser's Husband
The Hairdresser's Husband is a tightly knit, though slight, tale told in the best of humor. It's the story of despair bred by utter happiness.

Freud would not approve.
"...dreams except, perhaps, of his past, and his only occupation seems to be filling in crossword puzzles and watching..."
