Seven Days in Rio

By Francis Levy

Book Overview

"The funniest American novel since Sam Lipsyte's The Ask ." - Village Voice "A ribald chronicle of [a] 60-something Manhattan accountant, who's come to Rio de Janeiro as a sex tourist. [A] fever dream of a novel." - New York Times Book Review "Levy delivers a visceral blend of hilarious satire and study in human sexuality, taking us on a deviant tour of Rio." - Interview Magazine I have come to regard almost everything that happens in human life as a form of therapy. So muses Kenny Cantor, always dapper in his seersucker suit from the Brooks Brothers 346 collection. Kenny is a CPA, amateur psychoanalyst, and sex-tourist vacationing in Rio when he gets waylaid at a psychoanalytic conference. What ensues is a provocative journey that merges sex and psychoanalysis through Rio's tawdry netherworld of Susan Sontag-quoting denizens as only an incendiary voice like Francis Levy could imagine. Francis Levy is the author of Erotomania: A Romance , a Queerty.com Top 10 Book of 2008 and an Inland Empire Weekly Standout Book of 2008. His short stories, criticism, humor, and poetry have appeared in The New York Times , The Washington Post , The New Republic , The Village Voice , and many others.
