SYNOPSIS
WHAT IS LOVE?
In the game of love, there are winners and losers. In THE LOSERS' CLUB,
Richard Perez tries to answer the eternal question. Set in downtown New York
City, THE LOSERS' CLUB tells the story of Martin Sierra, an unlucky writer
addicted to the personals. His journey brings us into the East Village,
pre-9/11-and in contact with Nikki, his dream woman, who remains unattainable
romantically yet becomes his friend and confidant during his illuminating
misadventures. Populated with characters and surprises few will ever forget,
this energetic, comic novel is as much about a generation (we won't say "X") as
it is about a specific time and place.
"THE LOSERS' CLUB is a vibrant and hopeful anthem for all of us 'losers' who
choose not to wallow (for too long!) in our despair and who find the will to
keep searching."-Heather Lowcock, Joseph-Beth Booksellers, Lexington KY*
