The Imperfect Enjoyment
is truly a manly read. A raunchy romp of a novel written by a self proclaimed "international chick banger".
A mans perspective on finding love, in many different forms, this book was a bit of an eye opener. After reading some of his blush-worthy debauchery, you wouldn't expect him to find a stable relationship. When he does, its a challenge that he isn't quite sure how to handle. While he arguably takes all the wrong steps towards his own perfect enjoyment, he manages to find the imperfect enjoyment suits him just fine.
What's it all about?
When college instructor Dewan Gibson leaves the Midwest for California, he expects to find a world of breast implants, beer and beaches. Instead he enters a secret and ill-fated romance with a Middle Eastern undergraduate. In this vivid and humorous memoir, Gibson describes his attempts to overcome his forbidden love affair by jumping into an office fling gone wrong (Tijuana Mornings), traveling across the world to Denmark in hopes of meeting "Ms. Booty Mama" (Arhus Ain't for Lovers) and musing over the interracial relationships between his African-American uncles and "rural white women that wore 1980's big bangs and resembled Guns N' Roses groupies" (Too Much Tupac). Toeing the line between stable adulthood and post-college debauchery, Gibson presents a comically honest look at the frailty of modern relationships. Poignant, witty and at times downright hilarious--The Imperfect Enjoyment is a story of toxic relationships and the search for a second chance at love that enlightens and amuses as very few books do.
