Perhaps all of Jonathan Ames' problems-and the genesis of this hilarious book-can be traced back to the late onset of his puberty. After all it can't be easy to be sixteen with a hairless "undistinguishable from that of a five year old's." This wonderfully entertaining memoir is a touching and humorous look at life in New York City. But this is life for an author who can proclaim "my first sexual experience was rather old-fashioned: it was with a prostitute"-an author who can talk about his desire to be a model for the Hair Club for Men and about meeting his son for the first time. Often insightful, sometimes tender, always witty and self-deprecating, What's Not to Love? is an engaging memoir from one of our most funny, most daring writers.

Review:
"Hilarious.... Jonathan Ames has... an unusual ability to take crack-smoking, balding and Oedipal fixation and whip them up into an elegant, comic meringue."-The New York Times Book Review "Ludicrously funny... disconcerting and refreshingly frank."-The Denver Post "A mixture of unbridled libido and hopeless romanticism.... [It] soar[s] with Ames' original wit and generous spirit."-Entertainment Weekly
