Description: “The pages pulse with detail and energy...in Manafette’s novel of coming-of-age, Gen-X style, with a neo-noir ending [which] more than lives up to its subtitle.” - Publishers Weekly This new novel by best-selling New York City area author, Michael Manafette, will touch all of your chakras and emotions. It is the hottest new novel since 50 Shades of Grey, and is destined to be a summer '24 blockbuster hit! “Lust becomes counterfeit love for those whom love has eluded, or for others like me who’ve been hurt too much but still need to feel intimate with someone – who need that occasional touch of hot flesh in order to feel like part of the human race. There’s nothing more social than sexual contact with someone. Ask any lonely work-a-holic with no time for a real relationship.” The protagonist, Victor, appeals to the reader. “Killing For Love: The Novel Of A Generation” takes place in New York City and its northern New Jersey suburb. The story is told by the main character’s own voice, just before he is about to die. Victor is a self-described “hard-luck loser” from the fading middle-class of Generation X: looked down upon by the academia, demonized by the lower classes, etc. He doesn’t take love for granted ever since he evidently lost out on love from his parents. His love is almost too deep for even himself to handle so that past relationships end (and begin) with varying levels of violence. He is ultimately forced by his deep love for a trafficked Chinese sex worker to gravely consider what his whole life has been about, and left at a crossroads - one path continuing his life’s pattern, and one much deadlier path leading to possible true happiness. NOT suitable reading for people under the age of 18.
