Thirty-seven-year-old freelance writer Avery Jankowsky is devastated when his girlfriend, Deirdre, confesses that she has been having an affair. Beside himself with jealousy and grief, Avery accepts his uncle Ezra's advice—and his tickets to an all-expenses-paid international sex tour. Sensing a white-hot book idea (and a chance to get back at faithless Deirdre), Avery joins a group of mostly wealthy and accomplished travelers on a mad Nordic whirl, descending ever deeper into a world that is equal parts hilarity and nightmare.
From two-time National Book Award finalist Scott Spencer comes a startling tour de force that explores the limits of male restraint, the intoxications of privilege, and the maddening dangers of freedom.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Avery Jankowsky is a 37-year-old Manhattan writer scraping by on freelance assignments. But when Deirdre, his much-younger girlfriend, admits to having an affair, his world is shattered. So when his uncle suggests that Avery should use his tickets to an all-expenses-paid international sex tour, Avery senses a white-hot book idea (and a chance to get back at Deirdre). As the tour bounces from one Nordic country to another, Avery and his fellow travelers descend ever deeper into a blinding world that is equal parts hilarity and nightmare. A startling tour-de-force, Willing explores the limits of male restraint, the intoxications of privilege, the maddening dangers of freedom, and the knockdown, drag-out fight between our instincts and our better natures. Avery Jankowsky is a thirty-seven-year-old Manhattan writer scraping by on freelance assignments. Despite his lack of ambition, and very much to his own surprise, he has won the affections of Deirdre, a Columbia grad student many years his junior. But when Deirdre tells him that she has been having an affair, Avery's world is shattered. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
