Nude Men is the 1993 debut novel by American writer Amanda Filipacchi. It was written when she was twenty-two years old as her thesis for Columbia University's graduate creative writing program. It was published by Viking in hardback and by Penguin in paperback, and was translated into 13 languages. It became a number-one bestseller in Belgium and was taught in some high schools in Holland.
The French filmmaker Louis Malle praised it on its back cover with the quote: "Nude Men is everything you don't expect it to be--hilarious, full of plot surprises, and completely original."
The novel received mostly glowing reviews in the United States and abroad, and has had a cult following since its publication. Critics have often cited its originality, inventiveness, and humor.
