Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-24 00:00:00 John Joyce A brilliant, mesmerizing and edgy 'gay' novel which knocked my socks off when I first read it. A compelling read, beautifully written and to quote Dorothy Allison: " ... risky, honest, horrifying and insightful." This dark, intense depiction of the turbulent relationship between avant-garde filmmaker Carlos and the teenage country boy Tony as described by the latter's narration is a stunning tour de force by Paul Russell. One of my favorite novels and a must for readers interested in different and challenging aspects of gay relationships. Paul Russell, a brilliant writer as displayed by such excellent later works as 'The Coming Storm,' 'War Against the Animals' and 'The Unreal Life of Sergei Nabokov.'
