Dryback

Dryback is equal parts hilarious, titillating, and tragic: a hypersexual and porn-brained novelette in the vein of Dan Baltic’s Nutcrankr, Delicious Tacos, or Michel Houellebecq.

Javi leads an increasingly depraved lifestyle as a wine-seller in New York City as his fortieth birthday approaches. Resigned to the rampant loneliness and consumerism of the day, Javi passes the time creating deepfake porn starring ex-girlfriends and customers. His world is reinvigorated when he connects with Charlotte, a beautiful single mother. But will Javi’s newfound domestic and sexual bliss withstand a full-court press of 2020’s cultural decadence? Or is he setting himself up for his most spectacular disillusionment yet? Dryback takes an unflinching look at what it means to be an aging millennial male with creative pursuits, high aesthetic standards, and raging sexual energies in a world with fewer and fewer good uses for any of it.
