Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:
“Forget mere sex and the city...Kissing in Manhattanfeatures die-hard romantic strivers in a surreal turn-of-the-millennium New York ruled by the spirit of improbable happy endings.” —The New York Times Book Review “Schickler has a wild, out-of-left-field dramatic imagination that’s really fresh. The way his characters take you, as well as one another, by surprise is terrific fun.” —New Yorkmagazine “Like figures in a strange, spiky, urban frieze, the characters of Schickler's striking debut novel-in-stories pose, strut and cross paths in a darkly romantic, surreal Manhattan. ... Schickler is a fabulist for the 21st century, a skewed Scheherazade.” —Publishers Weekly “One of the most charming and memorable debuts this year isKissing in Manhattan.... Tenderness and darkness are around every corner ... There are Gothic overtones, bits of magical realism, moments of true eroticism with hints of danger.... This tender, lovely book and these love-starved and hopeful individuals linger like a reader’s dream.” —The New Orleans Times-Picayune “With these wonderfully haunting, strange, and hilarious stories, David Schickler has established himself as a major new voice in American fiction.” — Ron Hansen, author ofMariette in EcstasyandHitler's Niece “Schickler’s playfully alive voice is uniquely his own — sprightly, exact, Herculean in all the fundamentals. What talent! From beginning to end, here you have some of the most pleasurable storytelling of this — or any — year.” — Darin Straus, author ofChang and Eng From the Hardcover edition.

Kissing in Manhattan (ISBN: 0385335679 / 0-385-33567-9) Schickler, David Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Dial Press, 2005. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 142mm x 16mm x 207mm. Hilarious, sexy, and deeply tender, Kissing in Manhattan was one of the most celebrated debuts in recent years. Acclaimed author David Schickler's collection of linked stories follows a troupe of love-hungry urbanites through a charmed metropolis and into the Preemption?a mythic Manhattan apartment building. The Preemption sets the stage for a romantic fantasy as exuberant, dark, and dazzling as the city it occupies. Behind closed doors, the paths of an improbable cast of tenants?a seductive perfume heiress; a crabby, misunderstood actor; a preternaturally sharp-sighted priest?tangle and cross, while a perilous love triangle builds around three characters: James Branch, a shy young accountant with an unusual love for the Preemption's antique elevator, and a strange destiny. Patrick Rigg, a Wall Street lothario who soothes his pain by seducing beautiful women, carrying a gun, and attending the nightly sermons of a foreboding priest. Rally McWilliams, a fetching, hopeful young writer who roams the city at night, searching for the soulmate she believes in but can't find. Charged with joy and a deadly sense of humor, Kissing in Manhattan is a daring new writer's vision of a world where men and women, good and evil, love and sex, meet, battle, and embrace on every street corner. 288 pages.
