Women and Men is Joseph McElroy's sixth novel. Published in 1987 (with a 1986 copyright), it is 1192 pages long. Somewhat notably, because of its size, the uncorrected proof was issued in two volumes.[Note 1]

The size and complexity of the novel have led it to be compared with Ulysses, The Recognitions, and Gravity's Rainbow.[1][2]
