NOVELS
The Monosexual tells the story of Vincent Cappellini, an obsessed ultra-monogamist who struggles when his relationship with the love of his life abruptly ends. Twice-burned—once in love and once by the sun—he faces a host of challenges to his self-appointed sense of identity. Sunburn, bad sushi, a Sinatra karaoke contest, and the road rage fury of a woman scorned are but a few of the trials Vincent will endure while facing the ultimate test to his monosexuality—a new woman in his life.
With each passing night, Malcolm Cicchio is losing one minute of sleep. At this rate, he figures, his heart will explode in about sixteen months. But no matter how much time he has left, Malcolm has some things he'd like to get done. He's got to organize a screening of Ingmar Bergman's Wild Strawberries at the run-down, art house theater he manages so that he impress the pretty suicide-hotline volunteer he just met. And he still wants to get his wristwatch back from his ex-girlfriend.
"Vincent’s need to pathologize his lost love with a self-diagnosis and a made-up clinical term—legitimizing his plight and making it as wholly his own as if it had never happened to any other guy before—strikes a nice 21st-century note and makes The Monosexual seem wittily suited to its time."

"Consistently fresh and funny, with some scenes that are downright hilarious."
