"[A] hilariously satirical debut novel. Miller, Lawrence, and Genet stop by like proud ancestors… But it's a more recent generation of mischievous deviant writers (Nicholson Baker, Mary Gaitskill) that truly looms large — Erotomania's closest predecessor might be Baker's The Fermata. [An] ambitious book… [A] biting satire." — Zach Baron, Village Voice "Sex is familiar, but it's perennial, and Levy makes it fresh." — Richard Rayner, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Levy seems to have an eye for detail for all that is absurd, commonly human, and uniquely American." — Beth Harrington, Bookslut "It's a great book, written with flawless verve by a tremendous fictioneer and thinker, and it deserves glory. A classic." — Andre Codrescu, Exquisite Corpse "[Erotomania] can just as easily be a bookend to the beautifully nuanced prose of Milan Kundera as it can be a long-version story for a nudie mag minus the accompanying photographs. It's all in the context — as it is with most relationships." — Quarterly Conversation "Erotomania wields a comedic punch that makes it, above all, a fun novel to read." — Nerve.com Erotomania is an absurdist portrait of a modern-day romance. It follows James and Monica from their early days as couple that is forced to move into a nuclear fall-out bunker so their explosive sex life doesn’t physically harm their neighbors, down the long journey to marriage counseling
