What's Not to Love?
What's Not to Love?: The Adventures of a Mildly Perverted Young Writer | Jonathan Ames
1 post | 4 read | 11 to read
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. From the Trade Paperback edition.

This essay collection is 16 years old, but it is so outrageously funny that my wife and I still talk about it. It's among my favorite books I have ever read on a book tour.

manifestsanity I loved Bored to Death and would like to check out more of his writing. 8y
