Love Sucks
Ken Shakin’s acidically funny Love Sucks is a love letter to New York City written from its gutters; a caustic, jaded and deliciously cynical take on gay life that balances precariously between journalism and fiction. Following in the filthy footsteps of such gay luminaries as John Rechy, Renaud Camus, John Preston, Boyd McDonald and Michael Rumaker, Shakin uses his own experiences to none-too-gently probe the awkward inner workings of not just gay social relations, but the often anonymous, impersonal world that is “The Big City.”
Even the titles are more than enough to make the squeamish wince: "Confessions of a Smoocher?" "Man and His Toys?" "The Smelliest Man Alive?" Adventurous readers, rejoice!
