From the publisher
A Madame Bovary for the heyday of gay New York, Love Junkie is a riotously funny, razor-sharp tale about wanting it all
'He was a charismatic porn star who sold his dirty underwear. I was an upper-middle-class housewife from Bronxville'
Mimi Smithers, bored aesthete manquee, lives with her husband Boyce in the New York suburbs, where dreams of dazzling social success elude her. Life takes a quite unexpected turn when she meets Joel, a stunningly handsome porn star. Soon she tumbles down the rabbit hole of Manhattan and Fire Island society, helping Joel with his lucrative mail order business (signed photographs, used underwear, 'verbal abuse audiotapes'), and her real adventures begin.
