Fiction
Bold, touching, and funny—a debut novel by a brilliant
young woman about the coming-of-age of a brilliant young
literary man “He was not the kind of guy who
disappeared after sleeping with a woman—and certainly not
after the condom broke. On the contrary: Nathaniel Piven was
a product of a postfeminist 1980s childhood and politically
correct, 1990s college education. He had learned all about
male privilege. Moreover, he was in possession of a
functional and frankly rather clamorous conscience.” – From
The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. Nate Piven is
a rising star in Brooklyn’s literary scene. 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 is lively fun and holds her own in
conversation with his friends. In this 21st-century
literary world, wit and conversation are not at all dead. Is
romance? Novelist Adelle Waldman plunges into the psyche of
a modern man—who thinks of himself as beyond superficial
judgment, yet constantly struggles with his own status
anxiety, who is drawn to women, yet has a habit of letting
them down. With tough-minded intelligence and wry good humor
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.
