Author(s): Jonathan Ames

Biography & Memoir

Perhaps all of Jonathan Amesâ problemsâand the genesis of this hilarious bookâcan be traced back to the late onset of his puberty. After all it canât be easy to be sixteen with a hairless âundistinguishable from that of a five year oldâs.â
This wonderfully entertaining memoir is a touching and humorous look at life in New York City. But this is life for an author who can proclaim âmy first sexual experience was rather old-fashioned: it was with a prostituteââan author who can talk about his desire to be a model for the Hair Club for Men and about meeting his son for the first time.
Often insightful, sometimes tender, always witty and self-deprecating, Whatâs Not to Love? is an engaging memoir from one of our most funny, most daring writers.
