Half Empty

Half Empty is a story of romance and its repercussions among hipsters in Brooklyn. A young man named Dennis, newly sober, becomes entangled in two romantic triangles: with the ex-girlfriend who represents his wilder, freer past, and the cool, aloof heiress who represents a comfortable-but more controlled-future. As the three lovers jockey for power and position, deceiving themselves and each other, Dennis must finally acknowledge the painful truth about his past that he has been running from, forcing him to either confront his demons or allow them to destroy him. This new, remastered edition restores the original ending of the book with four additional chapters and includes a new introduction by the author.
