What do Bill Clinton, James McGreevey, Woody Allen, Michael Jackson, and OJ Simpson have in common with Leslie Cauldwell, protagonist of Arthur Nersesian's latest offering? They are Suicide Casanovas. What compels powerful men in the prime of their professional lives to risk so much? Following the commercial success of his previous novels (including cult-classic The Fuck-Up), Nersesian's new novel is a psychosexual thriller, a dramatic departure from his youthful black comedies: Humbert Humbert without the pedophile penchant, Hannibal Lechter without the appetite.
