If I were to assume that all men thought the way the fictional men did in Nic Kelman’s “Girls,” I would probably assume that wealthy middle-aged men want nothing more than to undress and sexually experience young, barely-of-age women.
In his 214-page book, Kelman uses ambiguous male characters to take a sexually detailed look at what really turns a man on and what really keeps him going during those difficult, lonely or sexually frustrating moments. The book consists of a generous-sized selection of mini stories detailing the provocative thoughts that race through a man’s mind at any time, any place and at any age.
Kelman includes stories of a man who can’t fight the temptation of a good underage hooker, a man who gets turned on by watching his girlfriend fornicate with another man, a man who is in a foreign country and manages to run into a former sex partner and, my personal favorite, a married man who is having a secret love affair with the young daughter of his close friend.
While the stories are certainly not boring and give the mind quite a bit to ponder, many of them are strange, far-fetched and unrealistic. Additionally, many of the famous quotes placed between each story tended to not make sense or have any relevance to the theme of the book.
On the flipside, however, “Girls” is entertaining, easy to read, very explicit and could appeal to either sex. If you are looking for a possible outlook on the fantasies that go through a middle-aged wealthy man’s mind on a daily basis, along with the fantasies many of them actually play out, this book is for you.
Some of it may be shocking and some of it may be reminiscent of familiar experiences. Either way, this book is not a dull one.
The book would have been even more intriguing, however, if it had been one long story rather than several little ones. I would have liked to have seen this same theme, but with established characters and a continuation of their sexual experiences throughout the entire book. Nonetheless, this is a book that doesn’t have to be tossed once it has been completely read. It can be kept on the shelf and pulled out any time, whether to read just one story, two or the entire book.
