A raw and blazing novel by "the single, most brain-searingly
dangerous man of letters. Read him at your peril." (Anthony
Bourdain)
An aging New Yorker, a writer named Nick, feels life ebbing out of
him. The world has gone to hell and Nick is so sick of it all that
he can't even have a glass of champagne. Then one night he meets a
tantalizing young woman who agrees to come back to his apartment.
Their encounter is the most strangely extraordinary of his life.
Propelled by uncontrollable, primordial desires, he enters a new
and unimagined dimension of the forbidden and is filled with a
sexual and spiritual ecstasy that is as intense as it is unholy.
Suddenly Nick's senses are alive. He feels strong, unconquerable,
beyond all inhibition and earthly morality. He indulges in life's
pleasures, pure and perverse, sublime and dangerous, from the
delicate flavors of the perfect tomato to the fleshy beauty of a
woman's thigh. But Nick's desire to sustain his rapture leads him
to a madness and a darkness far greater and dreadful than have ever
ridden the demon mares of night.
Writing in a lineage that includes Dante, William S. Burroughs,
Charles Bukowski, Hubert Selby, Jr., and Hunter S. Thompson, Nick
Tosches may be America's last real literary outlaw-a fearless,
uncensorable seeker of our deepest secret truths and desires, from
the basest to the most beautiful. "Me and the Devil" is outrageous,
disturbing, and brilliant, a raw and blazing novel truly unlike any
other. Like the man said: Read him at your peril.
