Jerkoff: A Novel About Sex Addiction
Transgressive, transformative fiction twisted into a blackly comic cautionary tale that packs a literary punch.
Damaged by a childhood filled with every form of abuse and an adulthood fueled by every kind of addiction, Jerkoff, a sex addict/stalker/drug addict/alcoholic has finally reached the end of his rope. On Christmas night he plans to go out with a bang, killing his ex-girlfriend and her new lover and then turning the gun on himself. But when the moment of truth arrives, Jerkoff realizes he isn't capable of killing anyone--not even himself. Instead of ending up in the morgue, he ends up at a twelve step meeting where he encounters Rick Romano, an internationally acclaimed novelist who is nobody’s idea of an angel. Romano inspires Jerkoff to confront his demons by putting them on paper. What follows is a searingly truthful, shockingly graphic, downright pornographic, frequently hilarious and always engaging memoir of madness that helps Jerkoff to heal the wounds of his past and rewrite the map of his future.
