I Should’ve Known Better Release Date: August 14, 2026

Published

A life examined — love, regret, and the hard-earned grace of second chances.

Meet Phil Green: husband, father, striver, patient, and relentless self-interrogator. Over five decades he stumbles and bumbles through a life that looks, from the outside, like a success—fevered youth in the Sixties, intoxicating affairs, two marriages, a chancy career, the long shadow of alcoholism, and a bout with cancer. Through all of it, an inner cross-examiner keeps asking the same terrifying question: did I get it right? Of course he did, and of course he didn’t.
Written with wit, warmth, and a clinician’s eye for human contradiction, I Should Have Known Better turns regret into reflection and shows how a life—messy, imperfect, fully lived—can still be meaningful. You don’t have to be neurotic or a boomer to see yourself in Phil, though either helps. From Larry Lentchner, author of Onederland, The Reluctant Guru of Alphabet City, and Sexual Survivors.
