And, oh yeah, a certain salacious young college junior who's hungry for more than just an education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApart from its steamy content, \u003cem\u003eMan Hungry\u003c\/em\u003e is actually a fine novel and a fascinating glimpse into the development of one of our most prolific and talented writers. It's all there--hints of his dark style, flawed and wanton characters, and the old familiar haunts, including the first appearance of the fictional Monequois College in the equally made-up town of Monequois, New York, which subsequently appears in at least a half dozen Westlake novels under at least four of his pen names.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf you're a Westlake fan, a fan of the genre, or just looking for a great vintage read, this new edition of \u003cem\u003eMan Hungry\u003c\/em\u003e from Blackbird Books will satisfy your appetite \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.44 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 06, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42112974880903,"sku":"9781610530149","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/d01a9c382b20c55bae708bb9a4d9528a.webp?v=1732484964","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/man-hungry-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
