BioGuy Jacobs is the author of the award winning Hard-Boiled Men; a novel that has received extensive praise for its depiction of single life in New York City. A professor in a midsized state university, Jacobs has been featured on CNN, Fox News, Headline News and the CNBC network.
In his novel, Hard-Boiled Men, the author provides his readers with the hilarious, whistle blowing account of academic misconduct, sexual conquest and all around emotional mayhem. Hard-Boiled Men is not the kind of novel that any of your university professors would ever assign in your undergraduate English seminar. After all, no professor would ever want his student to be privy of his inner most thoughts. Nevertheless, this book is required reading for anyone with a love for literature, a curiosity about the nature of men and the ability to laugh during life’s daunting moments.
Jacobs is an alumnus of New York University where he conducted his graduate studies and is well known for his true to life depiction of Manhattan’s fast pace nature. While Hard-Boiled Men has been argued by some to be somewhat explicit, the novel has won praise for its literary contribution to the new journalism movement.
Jacobs' writing style has been widely influenced by the writings of such authors as Charles Bukowski, Henry Miller, Philip Roth and Jerzy Kosinski.
