Adelle Waldman - The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.

Nate Piven: attractive, artistic, and even, now, successful in the Brooklyn literary world. But also, clueless about women, even as he dates several at once and could learn from experience.Waldman's debut novel is a funny and true look at today's sensitive and earnest—but not sensitive enough—thirty-somethings, and the state of love and romance, or what passes for it.
