Query: The new direction of literature--or at least it should be

I was blown away by this book, an exciting mixture of pathos, humor and despair. The narrator lets you inside his head--and gut--as he recounts in a no holds barred style his encounters with three women.While the book is very much in your face--hence the title--there is a sweet, almost desperate vibe that runs through the work which helps you to feel the narrator's pain and hopelessness at his own situation, one of, ironically, his own creation. I won't give away the ending, but instead of a tidy resolution, there is a realistic look at what it means to be in love, and how life often does not go the way we plan it to. Excellent book from what I believe to be a first-time author.
