He's also addicted to pornography. In fact, it's his attraction to pornography that causes the collapse of his relationship with the one woman he has ever loved. Hope is a novel in the tradition of Philip Roth's <i>Portnoy's Complaint</i>, Nabokov's <i>Lolita</i>, and Dostoyevsky's <i>Notes from the Underground</i>--confessional novels that have at their centers a hyperintelligent protagonist who seductively draws the reader into an illicit world. Why would a young, attractive man, who has found the woman of his dreams, turn to pornography? Why do men in general turn to pornography? Welcome to the world of Hope. By turns disarmingly intelligent, hilariously funny, and deeply disturbing, Hope examines Gabriel Jones's numerous obsessions: love and friendship; behavior he recognizes as both ridiculous and self-destructive; and mortality. It signals the remarkable debut of a highly talented young writer. 204052 1998 Hope total:46|5:19|4:13|3:7|2:5|1:2| 46 180 78 6 2108596 1573220949 9781573220941 4 1 3.91 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2108596.Hope 3 0 false Mon May 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 10:52:52 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 19:19:03 -0700 2009
