And, oh yeah, a certain salacious young college junior who’s hungry for more than just an education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\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\u003e\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\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHR Consulting, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049210265840,"sku":"9781610530149","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781610530149_p0.jpg?v=1763837982","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781610530149","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
