In the novel’s opening, she meets a man at the Nomad hotel bar in NYC, while sipping a presciently named cocktail, a Corpse Reviver #2. ![]() Daniels is the kind of attractive that compels good-looking, stylish men at bars to send her drinks with flirtatious propositions, and Daniels is the kind of woman who enthusiastically accepts.

It’s a story not dissimilar from Summers own self-description –– a recovering academic, an ex-stripper, a writer, and a woman ‘of a certain age’ unashamedly interested in sex. Summers, is part psychological thriller, part unapologetic tale of sexual desire from a woman of ‘a certain age’. ![]() ![]() A novel of sublime prose and piquant wit, A Certain Hunger, by Chelsea G. ![]()
