Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781250050458)

Dive into the Intricate World of Love and Self-Discovery

Writer Nate Piven's star is rising. After several lean and striving years, he has his pick of both magazine assignments and women: Juliet, the hotshot business reporter; Elisa, his gorgeous ex-girlfriend, now friend; and Hannah, "almost universally regarded as nice and smart, or smart and nice," who holds her own in conversation with his friends. When one relationship grows more serious, Nate is forced to consider what it is he really wants.

Nathaniel is a man who believes himself immune to superficial judgment. Yet, his tumultuous relationships and constant struggle with status anxiety tell another story. As his romantic entanglements intensify, we witness his often infuriating failings: an enduring attraction to women, paired with a knack of letting them down. This coming of age tale takes a hard look at Nathaniel as he grapples with what he truly wants.

Brought to life by the masterful storytelling of Adelle Waldman, this stunning debut novel promises an immersive experience into the heart of one man's relentless search for happiness. Presented with a combination of profound wit and heart-tugging emotion, The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. is an absorbing tale of one young man's search for happiness--and an inside look at how he really thinks about women, sex and love.
