HEARTBREAK EPIPHANIES AND JUSTIFIED LUST

by John Kruxhammer

Overview

Brashly original eclectic mixture of reality and fantasy. Mainly for men who enjoy gripping tales of beer drinking, rock music, travel, humor, hardship, often involving chaotic pleasures and perils of the opposite sex, with psychology, philosophy, history, science, and avant-garde weirdness thrown in. One young man suffers from a passionate obsession with his attractive therapist in Los Angeles. Another one struggles in Buffalo from a tumultuous faulty marriage. These eccentric narratives parallel, then powerfully combine, for extended revelry and newfound reverie in that enticing sparkling paradise of non-stop indulgence—Las Vegas, Nevada. Often alienated from society, both men are writers . . . of each other. Can you tell who the real unreal author is?

Editorial Reviews

In this audacious literary debut . . . Kruxhammer digs deep into the minds and beds of two young American men, a pair of Johns, literally and figuratively, . . . who find life much more satisfying once they start paying for sex. A celebration of Vegas, a brief on the pleasures and ethics of patronizing sex workers, and a prickly, punning, philosophy-riffing screed against a society so alienating to these Johns, Kruxhammer's novel is a proudly take-it-or-leave it proposition.

Publisher's Weekly - Editor's pick Lightning bolt for high quality

John Kruxhammer (a pseudonym) offers a strange, chaotic, confusing, but somehow engaging novel. After . . . a dash of freshman philosophy, the narrative gets going, fueled by great quantities of beer and sexual encounters . . . Palmer repairs to Las Vegas to fulfill hedonistic fantasies assisted by a philosophy professor-turned-sexologist "researching" the practices and motives of escorts. Despite the trios many sordid adventures, however, the novel's real central character is Las Vegas itself.
