Meet Puchy Mushkin, the hero of this "fast-paced phantasmagoric satire of a debauched contemporary LA..." (1) who "vows to live a life devoid of want..." (2) while thrusting himself into "the wildest situations and transgressions in a carnivalesque Los Angeles." (2)

This novel is "often uproarious,"(2) "delightfully wicked, outrageous..." (3) "brilliantly written and very funny." (1)

Puchy Mushkin will be the first to tell you: he has talent, intelligence, and ambition to spare. And yet, despite his prodigious-some might even say "gargantuan"-mental and physical endowments, he is a spectacular failure in life and love.

In the depths of his despair, Puchy has an epiphany: could the endless series of screw-ups that define his existence be the result of his overwhelming desire for success?

To test his theory and, hopefully, change his fate, Puchy vows to banish all dreams, goals, aims, ambitions, and obsessions from his life except one: to assassinate desire itself and hang it by its feet like Mussolini.

What follows is the hilariously dark, raunchy, and irreverent tale of one man's twisted war with himself-an anti-story about an anti-hero whose only motivation is to have no motivation at all.

Will Puchy succeed in his quest to conquer desire? Or will desire get him first? Grab your copy of The Tyranny of Desire TODAY to find out.
