About this title

Review:

"Nersesian has written a scathingly original page-turner, hilarious, tragic, and shocking--this may be his most brilliant novel yet."
--Kate Christensen, author of In the Drink

Synopsis:

CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE CULT CLASSIC THE FUCK-UP (OVER 80,000 COPIES IN PRINT) What do Woody Allen, O.J. Simpson, and Gary Condit have in common with Leslie Cauldwell, protagonist of Nersesian's latest offering? They are suicide Casanovas. What compels powerful men in the prime of their professional lives to risk so much? Following the commercial success of his first four novels, SUICIDE CASANOVA presents a psychosexual thriller, a dramatic departure from his youthful black comedies: Humbert Humbert withouth the paedophile penchant, Hannibal Lechter without the appetite.
