More About the Author

Ken Shakin has been called the most flippant man in fiction. His irreverent books stain the shelves of the public library, including the highly acclaimed Love Sucks (1997), Grandma Gets Laid (2008), and most recently Thrillerotica (2010). Thrillerotica.com is home to his unique genre, "calculated to send a shiver down even the most desensitized spine" (Omnilit). The New York native is a graduate of the Juilliard School, with a degree in piano. He lives in Berlin.

This review is from: Love Sucks (Paperback)

Ken Shakin has been called the most negative man in fiction. He's funny too. It's the strange combination between tragedy and comedy that makes it work. This is a very quirky book. Read this at your own risk, as it says in the introduction. You might risk screaming in public places, if nothing else. These are New York stories that make you wonder why you don't move. Because if you can make it here, love sucks anywhere. Highly recommended.
