This brutally funny true story of sex and success is â??in a class with Nick Hornby at his best and Candace Bushnell in her dreamsâ? (Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run). When Midwesterner Steve Friedman arrived in Manhattan raring to go and ready to conquer, he soon found pitfalls more numerous and perilous than he had ever imagined. Here is his utterly honest, often hilarious, self-deprecating account of those fateful years: his first job at GQ and his awkward efforts to impress his boss; real and imagined love affairs; a demoralizing attempt to score with a very famous actress; disasters at work and play; a growing self-awareness, with its inevitable bouts of depression and subsequent therapiesâ??all of which fail; and in the end, a wisdom that promises better things to come. An all-too-true â??The Devil Wears Prada meets A Million Little Pieces meets Lolita,â? Lost on Treasure Island is a witty rendition of the perils of growing up (Cathi Hanauer, editor of The Bitch in the House). With sharp humor, naked audacity, and unexpected sincerity, Friedman crafts an inviting portrait of the best of times and the worst of times. For anyone who has ever followed a dream to the Big City only to discover a rude awakening, this boisterous, painful, and often enlightening memoir will prove irresistible.
