The pain and frustration that came with being jobless and womanless turned Amir, a sensitive guy with a gentle soul, into a sex monster. In a vulgar, yet somehow sensitive manner, Amir tells us of his sexual and non-sexual experiences in New York, where he went to study film. During his time there, he meets Philly, with whom he falls head over heels in love; yet during a wonderful orgy, she abruptly kicks him out. This only makes him sicker – at a time when all he is asking for is love.

“I thought I loved women, so I was with a lot. And then I met someone who told me that a guy who loves women only needs one. So I was with one woman every day.”

Heitner’s second and much loved book was translated and distributed in Germany by KEIN&ABER under the name “liebe-und-anderer-schlamassel.”
