Flowing with desperate dreams of ambition and lust, flush with universal fears of mortality and relatable hopes for redemption and catharsis, Nathaniel Blackhelm immediately establishes himself as a pop culture poet for the prurient and the passionate, a stunningly self-aware hybrid of Russ Meyer and Charles Bukowski, reflecting not only our complicated zeitgeist, but all eras of temporal endurance.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Will Viharo\u003c\/b\u003e, author of \u003ci\u003eLove Stories Are Too Violent For Me\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Mermaid Drowns in the Midnight Lounge\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eGraffiti in the Rubber Room\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLOTHARIO\u003c\/i\u003e is the epic, irreverent manifesto of a lascivious man who has reached the midpoint in his life's journey only to find certain culturally taboo subjects-sex, race, class, religion-eating away at his soul.\u003cp\u003eWhat results from the exorcism of his faults and follies into the medium of raw poetry is a daring blend of eroticism, comedy, and biting social commentary that would make even the Marquis de Sade blush.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReady the crucifixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet cultural phasers to \"cancel\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurn away, all ye who are easily offended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bold new bard of the bawdy has arrived, and given the nature of his pen, he may not be staying around very long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathaniel Blackhelm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798306565125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001","brand":"Nathaniel Blackhelm","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48851105841407,"sku":"9798306565125","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lothario-nathaniel-blackhelm-9798306565125","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
