The Day Before You Came

"No change is ever easy, especially the change from a boy to a man. Back then, I didn't have any idea how painful the change would be."

The son of an affluent father in post-communist Slovakia, the unnamed protagonist first discovers the utter magnetism of girls at the tender age of nine. As a teen, the sheer power and pull of sex begins to shape his life, leading to sexual encounters-some magical, some empty-with girls he first knew as playmates and with new girls he meets. As he grows up and begins to puzzle the nature and behavior of girls, he finds girlfriends can't give him what he really wants, what he comes to crave: slutty, dirty sex.
