<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Kenny Becker just dumped his girlfriend--the reasons are a little complex. Young and newly unemployed, his main assets at the moment are six-pack abs and a healthy libido--he's ready to get out, find a little action, and maybe find himself too. But New York is no place for the lonely, and with one meaningless sexual encounter after another, Kenny begins to wonder if the singles scene is not itself a complete con job, with his heart and his future at stake. Raunchy, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt, this 1978 clubland slice-of-life displays Richard Price in gritty good form.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A novel of passion and depth, written with great precision and control." --<i>The Washington Post Book World</i> <p/>"Price knows the language, mores, herding instincts, and hunting habits of the bottom-class urban young just about as well as Margaret Mead got to know those who come of age in Samoa." --<i>Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times</i> <p/>"<i>Ladies' Man</i> brilliantly portrays the dark side of youthful passion seeking release in a big-city environment." --<i>St. Louis Post-Dispatch</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Richard Price</b> is the author of seven novels, including <i>Lush Life, Clockers, Freedomland, </i>and <i>Samaritan</i>.
