Meet Guy, a successful talent agent who dates models, pop stars and women he meets on the beach. He compulsively rates women’s looks on a scale from one to ten. He’s a little bit racist, in denial about his homophobia and enjoys making fun of people’s weight. His only real friend, besides his dog, recently joined a pickup artist group in order to be more like Guy.
Completely oblivious to his own lack of empathy, Guy’s greatest talent is hiding his flaws … until he meets someone who challenges him like never been before. Darkly funny, Guy is a brilliant study of toxic masculinity, exposing the narcissistic thoughts of the misogynist next door.
“Guy is devastating and hilarious. It’s brutal and destructive and life-affirming. It’s a must-read. Jowita Bydlowska isn’t just one of this nation’s bravest writers, she’s one of our best.”
– Joseph Boyden, author of The Orenda
“Being Guy felt horrifically natural, as if he stepped right out my own debased, politically incorrect s*x fantasy. This book is unputdownable, full of sly, modern details that made me laugh and grimace right into the twist ending.”
– Miranda July, author of The First Bad Man
