Snapshot Of A Warped Man

Why are the awkward boys so awkward?


In a time before smartphones and the internet, their coming of age happened with less supervision, but also less support. 


In "Snapshot Of A Warped Man," Michael Shashoua tells his own story about being one of those awkward boys, and what it was like to be socially alienated, carrying unsavory sexual fantasies.


He tracks a through line from there into adulthood, showing how that mindset got cancerous and disastrous -- but with an understanding of what it will take to be redeemed.


It's the story of a Jersey boy, but it's also a New York story, including events and instances from the author's 20 years living and working in New York City.


Memoirs this honest are few and far between, and readers will find this story to be relatable, but tough and compelling.
