Rampant Douchebaggery
James is proud and excited to announce his second book, Rampant Douchebaggery : The Death of The American Gent.
Irreverent, timely, moving, and spot on, Rampant is a book for Right Now. Twenty two essays, most with illustrations to heighten and lighten the text, explore often uncomfortable terrain, such as the omnipresence of porn, the dog-swipes-dog atmosphere of Online Dating ("the Hunger Games with emojis") and the sad and silent demise of Romance in today's American landscape.
It's the book American men need, and a book that American women need to share with them.

"American women now have to confront these uber-troubling realities:
Revenge Porn. Roofies.
Trolling instead of courting. Pictures of a penis sent to a woman unmet. Do we really need to look any further into our XY gender to see we’re dying a Roman death?"

"Where did the gentlemen go?"
21st Century American men, formerly solid neighbors, students and spouses, have morphed into addled man-boys who often behave, well, like douches. On campus, on Wall Street, or online, men behaving badly has become the new American normal.
Cogan jump-starts this provocative primer by asking, “When did American men stop trying?” “Where did the gentlemen go?” The answers–and more troubling questions–follow in a witty and soul-searching primer for and about single American men.
