His family is wealthy (but Harry Driscoll is not).

His education is Ivy League (but what good is it doing him?).

His publishing job is entry level (with no exit in sight).

BUT...

Harry Driscoll has a dream (if you call an unfinished manuscript hidden in the closet a "dream").

Harry Driscoll has a girl (although intercourse is out of the question).

Harry Driscoll even has feelings. (He asked this girl, one day in the park, to be in his life forever-and meant it!)

And the other girls? They're not the problem. (The problem is, Harry Driscoll cannot allow himself to say the word "love.")]]> 90143 3.42 786 129 2002 155871 1594480710 9781594480713 35 <![CDATA[Goodbye Lemon]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172260722m/155871.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172260722s/155871.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/155871.Goodbye_Lemon 3.51 232 The Frog King.

Jack Tennant is going home. Against his better judgment, he has succumbed to his mother's guilt-laden pleas that he see his estranged father. Jack's do-gooder girlfriend believes that this trip is a chance for Jack to achieve peace with his family, but there's a lot she doesn't know about the Tennants. So Jack finds himself in the uncomfortable position of having to make a decision he's avoided for years. Should he walk away and leave his crazy family to solve their problems without him? Or should he try to mend fences that have been broken for as long as he can remember?]]> 90143 3.42 786 129 2006 2269755 1594483140 9781594483141 24 <![CDATA[Mine All Mine]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2269755.Mine_All_Mine 3.48 104 A dazzling comic and romantic heist story from the author of The Frog King and Goodbye Lemon.

Otto Starks is a "pulse"— -- a highly specialized security guard who has hyperdeveloped senses and a nervous habit of popping tabs of cyanide. Otto was once a rising star but then he was rolled three times by the notorious Rat Burglar. Now, demoted and dangerously in debt to a loan shark, all he has left is Charlie Izzo, the woman he loves. Unfortunately, she is also the Rat Burglar’'s zealous advocate. That'’s bad enough. But then Otto gets robbed yet again and the cops pronounce him the prime suspect. When Charlie disappears and Otto becomes a fugitive, he realizes that the Rat Burglar has stolen much more from him than art. And to get it back he must break the law he has devoted his life to upholding. A nail-biting thriller about deception, betrayal, and ownership —in art and in love, —Mine All Mine is also a quirky and hilarious romantic comedy.]]> 90143 3.42 786 129 2008 7072196 3257239343 9783257239348 0 <![CDATA[Froschkönig]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7072196-froschk-nig 4.00 1 Froschkönig ist schön. Froschkönig ist komisch. Froschkönig ist unendlich traurig. Und Froschkönig hat einen ganz eigenen, vom Übersetzer Hans M. Herzog kongenial ins Deutsche hinüber geretteten Ton, den der 36-jährige US-Amerikaner Adam Davies über die gesamte lange Strecke von fast 400 Seiten derart souverän durchhält, dass man bis zum Schluss vergisst, es mit einem Romandebüt zu tun zu haben. Seit Boris Vians Der Schaum der Tage hat man so etwas nicht mehr gelesen.

Davies Held mag ein Frosch sein und einer bleiben. Davies aber ist ein aufmerksamer, witziger und stilsicherer König der jungen amerikanischen Literaturszene, der gar nicht erst wachgeküsst werden muss. -- Thomas Köster, Literaturanzeiger.de
