Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The Insatiable Man is the story of a college student suffering through a lingering discontent which he cannot seem to shake. The protagonist, Matt Quibley, arrives at the conclusion that the core of his unhappiness stems from his evolutionary predisposition for polygamy. Despite being in a relationship with a seemingly perfect girl, he cannot overcome his instinctual belief that life would be better for him if he were romantically involved with multiple women. In a selfish but somewhat endearing journey, Matt attempts to overcome societal limitations by dating five women at once. He quickly learns how challenging his seemingly ideal lifestyle can be, and yet he is determined to pursue his evolutionarily predetermined rights as a male. Along the way, he picks up valuable life lessons from his zany group of comrades and a nutty professor he refers to as the Mad Scientist. When Matt's plan goes awry, he has no one to blame but himself, and he must deal with the possibility that happiness may always be just beyond his grasp.
