Product Description
When Hedonism can only Take you so Far...From the cruising spots of Boston to the gay tourist scene in Amsterdam, Dave Miller trysts dangerously with every available man. Yet even during scorching sexual encounters with strangers in public parks and gay baths, Dave is haunted by images - some perverse, some nostalgic - of his long-dead family. Raised by his Orthodox, Holocaust-survivor grandmother, Dave's tale of sex and death is told in two interweaving chronologies, following one man's journey into the darkest recesses of his own tortured soul and body. But will he find redemption at the journey's end?
