Curiosity leads to obsession and to an affair with the married Charlotte Cobin, all of which Harold faithfully records in the notebook that becomes his deeper obsession. As the relationship with Charlotte complicates and darkens, Harold's poisons emerge. He's discovered a subject he can write about, but now reveals himself as someone whose intelligence, wit, and sexual delirium mask a terror of human connection. Adrift in the ruins of 1970s Berkeley, he is--like the dark hero of a nineteenth century romance--disastrously unprepared for actual love, and even for life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Originally published in 1982 under the title \u003ci\u003eFalse Match\u003c\/i\u003e, and long out of print, \u003ci\u003eThe Nenoquich\u003c\/i\u003e is an unsparing, painful, and often very funny story of fading illusions. It captures a generation at sea, and a seducer out of his depth.
