ABOUT
THE BOOK

“There’s this woman, she loves me. There’s this woman, she hates me.” Funny and irreverent, wise and sexy, Peter Esterházy’s latest novel brilliantly countermands the anxiety of love and brings us face to face with the exhilarating hilarity of our own confusion. In ninety-seven short chapters Péter Esterházy contemplates love and hate and sex and desire from the point of a view of a narrator who considers himself a great lover, a man who may (or may not) be in love with all the women in the world.
