Plot Summary of The Losers' Club
"WHAT IS LOVE?

In the game of love, there are winners and losers. In THE LOSERS' CLUB, Richard Perez tries to answer the eternal question.

Set in downtown New York City, THE LOSERS' CLUB tells the story of Martin Sierra, an unlucky writer addicted to the personals. His journey brings us into the East Village at the height of its cultural glory—and in contact with Nikki, his dream woman, who remains unattainable romantically, yet who becomes his friend and confidant during his precarious misadventures. Populated with characters and surprises few of us will ever forget, this exhilarating novel is as much about a generation (we won't say “X”) as it is about a specific time and place.

"

James Salazzo, Resident Scholar
