Overview[]
Kenny Becker, a young door-to-door salesman, goes on the prowl for love in 1970s New York City.
Critical reception[]
Kirkus Reviews wrote that "what keeps this book afloat long past its torpedoing point is Price's Lenny Bruce-ish, shpritz-style riffery."[2] New York called Ladies' Man "more of a cult book, as it lacks the emotional range and complexity of [Price's] first two novels."[3]
