Description

As Henry Flesh's brilliant first novel begins, it is the mid-90's, a time when the sweetness' of AIDS lies across Manhattan like ' a nebulous gloom...a deep distress.' Randy, an erotic masseur becomes involved with a client, Graham Mason, a famous, dying writer. Their sadomasochistic trysts soon become much more than business: Graham searches for his long dead lover in the angelic face of Randy, and for the lost pleasure world of the 60's and 70's - while Randy discovers in Graham the show more powerful image of the midwestern businessman who seduced him as a child.' show less
