Opis

"Hilarious....captures perfectly the myriad stages of fear, discovery and elation that mark one's first sexual experience."The New York Times Book Review, Katherine Dieckmann, 16 July 2000 " W]ell-crafted stories recall the witty phrasing of Updike, the poignant nostalgia of Cheever, the earnest but confused innocence of Salinger."--Library Journal "Featuring a New York that, like Kundera's Prague, is a vast hive of seductions....A moving portrait."--Publishers Weekly, 17 April 2000 "The gentle humor and delicacy of Sleep-Over Artist remind me of the stories of another young cosmopolite, F. Scott Fitzgerald."--Stewart O'Nan, author of A Prayer for the Dying "Fresh, sophisticated and most of all utterly readable...strikes a perfect balance between timely ironies and perennial emotional truths."--Eva Hoffman "Tom Beller is gifted with a wry, dry appreciation of life's sweet and unlikely subtleties."--Elizabeth Wurtzel, author of Prozac Nation and Bitch "A fine novel of Manhattan manners."--New York Observer
