Please God Let it Be Herpes A Heartfelt Quest For Love and Companionship

Humorist-writer-mammal Carlos Kotkin is lucky in love-if lucky in love means he's had enough horrible, pathetic, and downright bizarre dating experiences to write a book. His trouble with females usually begins upon opening his mouth. Here, Carlos shares his ups and mostly downs of bachelorhood, including romantic conquests with a slew of childhood crushes, insane yogis, a Playboy vixen, a STD host, the flaky, the deaf, and the just plain dumb. His unique mating style is not to be duplicated, but it will definitely make readers laugh-and want to get tested ASAP.

Carlos Kotkin performs stand-up around the country at both Upright Citizens Brigade and the Comedy Central Stage. As an essayist, he's been featured in Fanzine, Pop-Serial, and the anthology Dirty Laundry. He is also the creator of the film short Overcoming Shyness.
