E-grāmata: Love Junkie

"Eager to please and gleefully tasteless." -- Ed Park - Bookforum "A comedy of manners with a time bomb ticking behind the curtain." -- Jay McInerney - The New York Times "Plunkets novels delight in camp, they slice with merciless social acuity, they reject tidy explanation For readers who want to feel something, rather than be told what to feel, this sort of nostalgia is our best betand theres no better place to start than Love Junkie." -- Reece Sisto - The Baffler "One of the tragicomic classics of the AIDS era. In a groovier universe, Plunket would have gone on publishing novels in addition to his journalism As it is, the strength and singularity of the two books he did publish demand an accounting of their place in the American fiction of the 1980s and 90s." -- Kate Wolf - The Nation "Hilarious, very sad, and constantly teetering on the brink of being genuinely offensive. But it isnt offensive!" -- Lauren Oyler "As beloved as it is controversial, Plunkets 1992 cult novel will get a much-deserved second life thanks to this reissue by New Directions. (Maybe this will finally galvanize Madonna, who once optioned the film rights, to finally make that movie.)" -- Daniella Fishman - The Millions "Part of what feels so notable about Plunkets writing is that it expresses a gay or queer sensibility through a lot of different, complementary emotional registers." -- Brandon Sanchez - New York Magazine "One of Americas funniest, gayest writers." -- Casey Cep - The New Yorker "Its rare for a long-forgotten writer into his eighth decade to get rediscovered. Whats even more unusual about Plunket, and his unlikely return, is how stealthily influential his fiction has been over the decades." -- Alexandra Alter - The New York Times "Robert Plunketformerly of New York, currently of Floridamay be on the heels of becoming actually famous with this reissue of his 1992 novel." -- Dilara ONeil - Vulture
