About the Book

A twenty-two-year-old perennial virgin, Englishman Grant Stoddard didn't know what to do with his life in America--until he won an X-rated online contest, the prize being intercourse with an infamous married sex columnist. He consequently wound up delivering mail at Nerve.com but accidentally found his calling as a gonzo sex reporter who would try any and every lurid activity his crafty coworkers devised--from offering himself up as man-bait at a hard-core gay bar to attending an elite orgy, to being a hapless participant in a sexual home invasion--all the while wishing he could be safely tucked in bed. Working Stiff is the humble, hilarious, and delightfully salacious fish-into-water story of a young man who followed his heart--and other organs--into places where few would dare to venture.

About the Author :
Grant Stoddard came to the United States in pursuit of true love. After eighteen months of couch-surfing, he was in danger of being deported when he discovered his true calling as New York's most intrepid sex columnist--despite having little experience in either sex or writing. He lives in New York City.

Review :
"Stoddard's prose manages to be clever, poignant, x-rated, and hilarious... I couldn't put it down." -- Lauren Weisberger, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and EVERYONE WORTH KNOWING "[O]ne of the best works of creative nonfiction since Joan Didon's Slouching Towards Bethlehem." -- The Advocate "[C]onsistently hilarious...smart and appealing." -- Publishers Weekly "HUCK FINN at the Playboy Mansion...you'll have a fantastically fun frolic in Grant's world." -- Elle "Paperback Pick" -- Chicago Sun-Times "[H}ilarious, occasionally disturbing and utterly impossible to put down...wrting--and not fornicating--is Stoddard's true calling." -- Calgary Herald "At it's finest, his work is an antidote to the swaggering misogyny of the genre dubbed "fratire." -- Los Angeles Times Book Review TOP PICK FOR 2007 -- The Vancouver Province (British Columbia) "[H]ard to put back on the shelf...remarkably endearing." -- Calgary Herald (Canada) "[C]ringingly hilarious." -- Kirkus Reviews "Funny, exuberant, outrageous, and tender -- WORKING STIFF is an erotic and comedic page-turner." -- Jonathan Ames, author of WAKE UP, SIR! "Grant Stoddard's debut is a sex memoir with heart: an American (wet) dream come true." -- Jessica Cutler, author of THE WASHINGTONIENNE "Stoddard takes on the city with poignancy and hilarity...and triumphs." -- Jonathan Kilmer-Purcell, New York Times bestselling author of I Am Not Myself These Days "[R]elayed with self-deprecating wit, a surprising sweetness, and an unceasing sense of amazement." -- Booklist "[A] brave, moving, and, yes, seductive story" -- David Goodwillie, author of SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME
