David Sasaki's Reviews > New Year's: Nathaniel P. as Seen Through the Eyes of His Friend Aurit

My closest guy friends and I all read The Love Affairs of Nate P. We usually go to great lengths to disagree with one another on just about everything, but we all loved Waldman's first novel. It was fun to read our own shameful inner thoughts in the voice of a relatable 30-something Brooklynite dude, but somehow written by a woman. So when I stumbled across this addendum - an alternative perspective of a segment of the original novel, but told from the perspective of Nate's friend, Aurit - I couldn't resist. And I'm glad I didn't. Both of these books should be required reading for every 20-year-old guy on the verge of entering the fraught phase of adult dating. (Though my guess is that Waldman's books are mostly read by women.)
