Reviews
"The charm and grit of Nersesian's voice is immediately enveloping, as the down-and-out but oddly up narrator of his terrific novel, The Fuck-Up, slinks through Alphabet City and guttural utterances of love." --Village Voice "For those who remember that the eighties were as much about destitute grit as they were about the decadent glitz described in the novels of Bret Easton Ellis and Jay McInerney, this book will come as a fast-paced reminder." --Time Out "Not since Catcher in the Rye, or John Knowles's A Separate Peace, have I read such a beautifully written book . . ." --Grid magazine "Touted as the bottled essence of early eighties East Village living, The Fuck-Up, is, refreshingly, nothing nearly so limited . . . A cult favorite since its first obscure printing in 1991, I'd say it's ready to become a legitimate religion." --Smug magazine "Fantastically alluring! I cannot recommend this book highly enough!" --Flipside, "The charm and grit of Nersesian's voice is immediately enveloping, as the down-and-out but oddly up narrator of his terrific novel, The Fuck-Up, slinks through Alphabet City and guttural utterances of love." -- Village Voice "For those who remember that the eighties were as much about destitute grit as they were about the decadent glitz described in the novels of Bret Easton Ellis and Jay McInerney, this book will come as a fast-paced reminder." -- Time Out "Not since Catcher in the Rye, or John Knowles's A Separate Peace, have I read such a beautifully written book . . ." -- Grid magazine "Touted as the bottled essence of early eighties East Village living, The Fuck-Up, is, refreshingly, nothing nearly so limited . . .

Synopsis
Conjures up exact names, specific establishments, and precise addresses of an almost forgotten city.. From the St Mark's Theatre to Caramba on Broadway to the missions on the Bowery, Nersesian's careful and affectionate historicism has distilled and preserved a moment overlooked by and unimaginable to Ellis, McInerney and the other pop chroniclers of the era., "Nersesian's The Fuck-Up is a Trainspotting without drugs, New York style."--Hal Sirowitz, author of Mother Said, No simple tale of psychopathic yuppie greed, The Fuck-Up is a thriller with a literary soul set in the pre-chic lower east side. The narrative follows a nameless hero from the girlfriend who kicks him out for a most minor infidelity, to dismissal from his minimum wage usher job at a movie theater, to a literary friend's couch in Carroll Gardens, and back to Manhattan for a short-lived squat in a plush Soho loft and an entirely unorthodox management position in a gay porn theater. As he makes this emotional and socio-economic odyssey through New York's colorful if uncaring landscape, rarely with more than enough change for a cup of coffee at a Blimpie, he becomes embroiled in affairs and relationships build on mutual deceit and predicated on misinformation. The result is a descent into the world of the truly fucked up, a semi-delirious and amnesiac wandering that finds an end not in some predictable and cuddly redemption but in the solace of shared disillusion.

    Ordered from USA and arrived to me in UK about 10 days later. Book appropriately packaged and mostly as described. Was missing the cd as listed but communication with the seller was friendly and polite if not a little confusing - partial refunds are only offered after you start the formal eBay return request process, they aren't capable of giving refunds after simple messaging to customer service. All in all though, great value and a positive transaction. Would interact again 👍

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    I recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
