And, oh yeah, a certain salacious young college junior who's hungry for more than just an education.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApart from its steamy content, \u003cem\u003eMan Hungry\u003c\/em\u003e is actually a fine novel and a fascinating glimpse into the development of one of our most prolific and talented writers. It's all there--hints of his dark style, flawed and wanton characters, and the old familiar haunts, including the first appearance of the fictional Monequois College in the equally made-up town of Monequois, New York, which subsequently appears in at least a half dozen Westlake novels under at least four of his pen names.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf you're a Westlake fan, a fan of the genre, or just looking for a great vintage read, this new edition of \u003cem\u003eMan Hungry\u003c\/em\u003e from Blackbird Books will satisfy your appetite \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-10380346\"\u003eAlan Marshall\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blackbird Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781610530149\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1610530144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackbird Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42656581910765,"sku":"9781610530149","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_3222d2ba-1a52-4334-a2ff-61d9770f327b.jpg?v=1649299089","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/man-hungry-9781610530149","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
