No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
The author of "The Average American Male" and "The Lie" returns with a shocking and salacious--yet surprisingly rich and subtle--new novel of the average American family.
In this, his most ambitious and surprising book yet, Kultgen explores the sexual pressures at work on two different generations navigating the same Internet landscape: junior high school students and their parents.
Among the families traced in Men, Women & Children:
โขKent, a recent divorcรฉ re-entering the dating worldโand his son, Tim, a football star-turned-World of Warcraft-addict, who learns via Facebook that his mom is getting remarried.
โข Dawn, a single mom who charges anonymous men $12.95 a month to view suggestive online pictures of her daughter, Hannahโwho wants to lose her v-card before any other eighth grader.
โข Don, who sneaks onto any available computer for his daily fix of streaming pornโand his son, Chris, whose porn tastes make his fatherโs look like Disney.
โข Patricia, who is determined to keep the demons of the Internet from preying on her daughter, Brandyโwho uses her secret MySpace identity to try on an alternative Goth identity and blog about threesomes sheโs never had.
Whether thirteen or thirty-five, Kultgenโs characters inhabit a world where privacy is non-existent, sex is currency, and information never disappearsโyet happiness is still a dream
