About This Book
The internationally acclaimed debut of a novelist described by the New York Times Book Review as a "lovely comic surrealist"āa story of sex, love, and art found in the unlikeliest of places Jeremy Acidophilus is not really named after the yogurt cultureāhe just likes to tell people that he is. Actually, he thought of that line years ago but has never been brave enough to use it on someoneāuntil he meets Lady Henrietta over a dish of green Jell-O in his new favorite coffee shop. A painter of naked men for Playgirl magazine who has taken her name from The Picture of Dorian Gray, Henrietta has the power to make Jeremy do all kinds of things he would not normally do, including disrobe for a stranger. He thinks that he must be falling in love. Think again, says Sara, the artist's outrageously precocious eleven-year-old daughter as she sets out to seduce the new model. From the gray streets of Manhattan to the pastel kaleidoscope of Disney World, Jeremy's journey of self-discovery is both irresistibly absurd and uncannily real. Everyoneāfrom his cat Minou to a dancing magician named Laura to the agents hired by his mother to taunt himāhas advice for Jeremy. Before he can hear any of it, though, he first needs to find out how to listen to himself. A witty and wild exploration of sexuality, creativity, and the paradoxes of self, Nude Men is the rare novel with the power to charm and shock in equal measure.
