Love Sucks Book

A collection of unforgettable vignettes from Sleaze City, New York. Ken Shakin's reportage walks the thin line between journalism and fiction. In a free tradition of modern gay writing, Shakin follows John Rechy, Renaud Camus, John Preston and Boyd McDonald in using the perspective of anonymous sex to probe the uncomfortable facts of social relations, and not just gay ones, in the anonymous world of the big city. From "The Anonymous Dog" to "Confessions of a Smoocher", "Man and His Toys" to "The Smelliest Man Alive", Shakin's stories offer a guided tour to Sleaze City, calculated to send a shiver down even the most desensitised spines.
