Begun as an assignment from Penthouse magazine, Richard Price's third novel, Ladies' Man, tells the story of a young Manhattan salesman whose broken romance leads him into a descending spiral of singles bars, massage parlors and peep shows, earning Price critical praise as a striking "novel of passion and depth, written with great precision and control" (Washington Post Book World).
