Curtis Bunn Views
In 2001, Curtis Bunn crafted his first novel, "Baggage Checkr" and watched in amazement as it became a word-of-mouth national success. The audacious, moving and funny story of Greg, Larry and Julian blossomed into a must-read for women and book clubs who sought a genuine peak into the psyche of men. Significantly, men embraced the book as an accurate depiction of their mindset, motivations and resolutions.
A Cold Piece of Work offers the most rare insight: a contemporary man revealing the depths of his emotions, vulnerabilities and flaws. Essence No. 1 bestselling author Curtis Bunn boldly brings the reader on an unfettered, organic journey that lends honest, raw perspective and provides the how and why men act as they do in relationships. It is a compelling and revealing story that captures the soul of a troubled man, his weaknesses and his emotional growth in a way that enlightens, teaches and entertains.
