This is the darkly hilarious odyssey of an anonymous slacker. He's a perennial couch-surfer, an aspiring writer searching for himself in spite of himself, and he's just trying to survive. But life has other things in store for the fuck-up. From being dumped by his girlfriend to getting fired for asking for a raise, from falling into a robbery to posing as a gay man to keep his job at a porno theater, the fuck-up's tragi-comedy is perfectly realized by Arthur Nersesian, who manages to create humor and suspense out of urban desperation. *-(Provided by publisher)*

This book is a quick read, and better than the title would make you think.

The Fuck Up is a very easy and enjoyable read. If your looking for something that can be finished in one sitting, this is it. The story is not overly exciting but it does keep you reading.
