Reviews

"Sick, depraved, and heartbreaking - in other words, a great book. Suicide Casanova is erotic noir and Nersesian's hard-boiled prose comes at you like a jailhouse confession." - Jonathan Ames, author of The Extra man; "Nersesian has written a scathingly original page-turner, hilarious, tragic, and shocking - this may be his most brilliant novel yet." Kate Christensen, author of Girl and User"
