BOOK DESCRIPTION: "Roadmaps
for the Sexually Challenged: All's Not Fair in Love or War" is a humorous,
steamy novel set in the mid-90s with the O.J. trial in the background and
plenty of L.A. vibe. It follows the hot romance of Carrie Walker--a divorcing
Jewish American woman--with a Japanese American man who bears the scars
suffered by his family during World War II. “You still have the band-aids on,”
he tells her, referring to her not-yet-divorce from her husband of 10 years (a
narcissistic Russian filmmaker).
Carrie’s women friends—former
classmates from USC Film School—cheer from the sidelines, but also struggle
with their own hard-won beliefs about love and sex. One, now a stripper, tells
her: “The mind cannot process sex.” And another warns: "Do not go
unconscious for love."
It’s a journey through a landscape
of communal living, mixed race dating, healing and Hope.
REVIEWS
“Marlan Warren is a witty,
wild, highly observant writer who has her way with words. ‘Roadmaps for the
Sexually Challenged’ is crazy, sad, sexy fun. An intimate look at the wild side
of cross-cultural relationships and the power of the Tao.”—Judith Fein, Author
of “My Life Is a Trip: The Transformative Magic of Travel”
"A real page turner. The book,
set in the mid-nineties with the O.J. trial in the background and plenty of LA
Vibe, describes the hot romance of a just-divorced Los Angeles woman. There's
humor, steamy sex and a captivating multi-dimensional main character.
The
story begins after Carrie, a writer and filmmaker, after a 10-year long
marriage, has left Boris, who is also a filmmaker. Boris is a sociopathic,
self-absorbed, intense and absolutely obnoxious Russian (Marlan, I could
forgive you anything, but a Russian?).
Marlan Warren’s narrative skills result
in sparkling and effortless prose. However, be not fooled by its ease. Her
novel (part memoir)—years in the works—is carefully, precisely and cleverly
crafted. It’s funny and moving. Carrie with her dilemmas, passion and hopes is
so real. A great read.
Sequel please!"
