Millard Fillmore, Mon Amour by John Blumenthal Pdf

A hysterical new novel from the author of What's Wrong with Dorfman? Once a gangly teenager in oversized clothes, Plato G. Fussell is now handsome and independently wealthy. But inside he's still a bundle of neuroses and anxieties, with a tendency to engage in moronic word games in the presence of beautiful women. In the midst of working on his definitive ten-volume biography of Millard Fillmore, Plato finds himself dodging his vile ex-wife, trying to please his demanding elderly mother by inquiring weekly about the state of her bowels, and attempting to remain verbally coherent while courting a young woman whom he meets after her errant Frisbee connects with his cranium. As Plato blunders on in search of true love, romance, and an acceptable degree of worldwide cleanliness, he discovers that loving someone and knowing them needn't go hand-in-hand.

What's Wrong with Dorfman? by John Blumenthal Pdf

Both a medical mystery and a family saga, "What's Wrong With Dorfman" is the story of Martin Dorfman, cynic, hypochondriac, and burned-out screenwriter. In the midst of navigating his latest film script through Hollywood Development Hell, the forty-year-old Dorfman wakes up one morning with a mysterious disease. His doctors conclude that he is in perfect health, but Dorfman is convinced he is dying and sets out on an odyssey to find a diagnosis. Heralded by the "Wall Street Journal" as "a funny and surprisingly moving story written at the intersection of shtick and angst," "What's Wrong With Dorfman?" follows the title character as he encounters his innermost demons, confronts his past and takes up with the beguiling Delilah Foster, a fellow sufferer. Will Dorfman find a cure? Will his movie get made? Will he run away with Delilah? And most importantly, what indeed is wrong with Dorfman? More than just the plight of one man, "What's Wrong with Dorfman?" reflects the angst of modern society and asks the question, "Aren't we all a little nuts?"

The Strange Courtship of Abigail Bird by John Blumenthal Pdf

Beset by awkward interpersonal skills and an obsession with classic literature, Ishmael Archer seems destined for the lonely life of a literature professor at Longfellow College. While he yearns for female companionship, a recent acrimonious divorce has left him in a state of fragility. Struggling to pay his rent, Ishmael is obliged to undertake one of his most dreaded tasks: teach a summer creative writing class. Convinced that he will be saddled with a group of malcontents who care not a whit for Tolstoy or Dickens, Ishmael is delighted to encounter the luminescent Abigail Bird, whose passion for literature equals his own. Their burgeoning romance is cut abruptly short when Abigail suffers a traumatic head wound and falls into a coma. When she finally awakes, Abigail is inexplicably changed, and Ishmael must find a way to reach the girl with whom he had originally fallen in love. Peppered with an enthralling cast of characters--a college dean obsessed with orchids, a Greek landlord with a deep affinity for the works of Ernest Hemingway, and a self-important writer who vies with Archer for Abigail's affections--The Strange Courtship of Abigail Bird is a heartwarming tale of love, loss, and rediscovery.

Three and a Half Virgins by John Blumenthal Pdf

"'My name is Jimmy Hendricks and I'm a recovering idiot' So begins John Blumenthal's third novel, the story of a small-town New England entrepreneur with a problematical name, who reacts to the abrupt dissolution of his marriage by revisiting his past. Filled with nostalgia, he finds himself gripped by memories of three former girlfriends -- Laura, Samantha and Molly -- each of whom happened to be virgins when he first met them twenty years before. But then the warm refuge of the past turns to icy reality as he recalls how maliciously he tricked, seduced and broke each of their hearts. Overcome by reality and tantalized by curiosity, he finds a way to reshape his past"--Publisher's description.
