About
A beleaguered young editor at a famous girly magazine swears off sex, only to find himself more deeply mired in lust and love than ever before There are perks to working at a men's magazine that unabashedly celebrates the unclothed female form. However, the constant parade of exquisitely beautiful women strolling in and out of Oliver Bacon's office can prove most distracting. Oliver opts to treat his situation with extreme measures: he resolves to try celibacy. But being chaste is easier said than done when one is toiling in a garden of earthly delights, with temptation blooming all around. The challenge gets even more difficult when a particular darling turns up to plunge Oliver's life and libido both into pure chaos. In an insightful and outrageous romp, Charles Simmons wickedly charts the minefields of lust and love.

"A novel that takes place between the navel and the knee-and records the sexual wars of us all with joy and delight."
The New York Times Book Review
"Hilarious exuberance . . . There is little to match it in the contemporary novel. Reading it, I never had such a good time in my life, or learned more about human beings and their real drives and delights."
James Dickey, author of Deliverance
"There is a certain relish that I reserve for reading Charles Simmons with. He has a wonderful dry freedom about him, like a martini maybe, only even in the long run good for you. Also you can actually learn things about private experience."
James Dickey, author of Deliverance
