Press Release Body = Book Club Review
The New York City gay-dating scene can be hilarious, heartfelt, sexy, shocking and downright scary, as imagined in this novel of a man on a hunt for love. Middle age hasn\'t made hunky writer Curtis Jenkins any less desirable. So why is he still drowning in the Manhattan dating pool? Lonely and desperate, he attempts suicide with a bottle of Beano. Somehow he pulls through and comes face-to-face with his mother, his unstoppable best friend, Quinn, and an awful truth. He has to see a psychiatrist. Dr. Magda Tunick has been around, and uses some unconventional therapy techniques that are practically illegal. But her main technique is to send Curtis back into the streets to meet a man. And he does. Drag queens, hustlers, actors, lawyers. His dates range from funny to frightening. Meanwhile, his mother uses Dr. Tunick\'s techniques to land a man, as does Quinn. One failed date after another discourages Curtis at first, but he also begins to learn truths about himself that make his single status seem obvious. If his mother and Quinn can find romance in the Big Apple with little effort, then it\'s about time for Curtis to start enjoying the fruits of his labor...of love.
