Excruciatingly good. A book I simultaneously want to recommend to everyone and no one.

Started reading this book cos it was on Lena Dunham's (GIRLS!) reading list. She says, "This book will inspire laughter, chills of recognition, and desperate flights into lesbianism." Guess cos' the protagonist, Nate, is a (well-meaning) jerk.

I can't decide if I just read chicklit or not cos the protagonist is male. I.e. The story is told from his perspective. Also, the characters are bookish people who spew intellectual stuff, which I mostly gloss over. Still, it's pretty interesting. It feels almost like an episode of GIRLS. Or in this case, GUYS because it's mainly about a guy, his gfs and friends.

Nathaniel Piven is a rising star in Brooklyn's literary scene. After several lean, striving years and an early life as a class-A nerd, he now (to his surprise) has a lucrative book deal, his pick of plum magazine assignments, and the attentions of many desirable women: Juliet, the hotshot business journalist; Elisa, Nate's gorgeous ex-girlfriend, now friend; Hannah, lively and fun and 'almost universally regarded as nice and smart, or smart and nice'. In this twenty-first-century literary enclave, wit and conversation are not at all dead. But is romance? In The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. Adelle Waldman plunges into the psyche of a sensitive, flawed, modern man – to reveal the view of the new world from his garret window, and the view of women from his overactive mind.
