Shuck

Daniel Allen Cox

Finalist:Lambda Literary Award -Gay Debut Fiction (2008)

"Set in the late 1990s, Shuck describes with great clarity and verve the last gasp of a gritty Manhattan."--Bruce LaBruce, film director

Shuck is the intense, dazzling diary of a male hustler in New York who tries to manage his reputation as the city's porn star du jour when he's not dumpster diving, tweaking, or trying to get published. A remarkable peep show of a novel about what binds artists and prostitutes, and the collateral damage of what happens when they try to recover what they have lost.

Daniel Allen Cox is a former porn star. This is his first novel.

Praise for this book

"Daniel Allen Cox writes truthfully and elegantly about a New York that I knew very well and that I miss very much. Set in the late 1990s, his novel Shuck describes with great clarity and verve the last gasp of a gritty Manhattan just before the war with the Eskimos, a bygone era that existed before wealth and privilege strangled the sweet life out of street life."--Bruce LaBruce, director of Otto; or, Up with Dead People
