Books

Love Monkey

Love Monkey is a comic novel about a cynical, self-deprecating journalist named Tom Farrell and his romantic tribulations in New York City. The book was first published by William Morrow in 2004. A New York Times article described the book as a guys' version of such popular chick-lit novels as Bridget Jones's Diary and Melissa Bank's, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing and cited Nick Hornby's books About a Boy and High Fidelity as inspiration for Love Monkey. Times critic Janet Maslin called the book "hilarious".Entertainment Weekly called the book "relentlessly cynical" and concluded that "'Monkey,' like the paper Tom writes for, is loud and brash, but a helluva lot of fun".Time magazine said, "You couldn't ask for a more entertaining drinking buddy--watch out for a memorable strip-club meltdown scene--but there's a deep, dark subway of despair running underneath his riffs, and that's what makes the book more than a standup routine....'Love Monkey' nails it."
