Product Description
Review
"One of the most original virtuoso voices...of our fin de siecle,"
Synopsis
The Roman gay world is mirrored in Jim's relations with his duplicitous partner Danny and the contemporary London scene they inhabit. Events take a weird twist when Jim discovers that his partner is living a double life as a member of a Soho cult involving bizarre sex rites on Hampstead Heath and a charismatic leader called Slut. Jim, repulsed by the cult's activities, finds his relationship with Danny at an end and that he has become a target for Slut's reprisals. He has to take refuge with a female friend, Masako with whom visits Rome to check out sites associated with Heliogabalus. She leads him to a meeting with a wealthy young man called Antonio who claims to be the emperor reincarnated. When Jim and Masako return to London, Antonio pays them a visit which leads to a conclusion every bit as dramatic as Heliogabalus' own murder. Boy Caesar more than confirms Jeremy Reed's reputation for pushing experience to the cutting edge, being an electrifying poetic re-creation of a bizarre period of ancient history as well as a narrative that dissolves boundaries of gender in the complex relationship of Jim and Masako.
