The Curse of the Singles Table: A True Story of 1001 Nights Without Sex Paperback - 2004

by Suzanne Schlosberg

Add to wish list

For fans of HBO's "Sex and the City"--or anyone who's been on a blind date--comes this hysterical look at life in the single lane.

Summary

Suzanne Schlosberg's friends dubbed her the Cal Ripken of celibacy. Given the common belief among single women that all the good men are either married or gay, Suzanne's predicament is hardly extraordinary, but what she does to end the streak makes for a hilarious tale. Suzanne hits bottom when her younger sister gets engaged, leaving her less than a year to find a date for the wedding. She shifts into overdrive, experimenting with Internet dating, speed dating, and other bizarre 21st century match-making rituals. But after enduring every indignity of singlehood, she ultimately learns to ask herself: Does she really need a man to find happiness?

First line

I could tell you that I came to the most remote corner of Arctic Russia because of an interest in life on the tundra in the post-Soviet era.
