Delicious end of summer comedy
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The main story giving the title to the collection is absolutely exquisite. The narrator (Greene?) a writer who lingers in an Antibes hotel at the end of the summer to work quietly finds his peace unsettled by the arrival of a young newlyweds couple, whose male component is coveted by a couple of gay seducers. We see their unrelenting siege with the resigned eyes of the narrator, who tries to face the wolves with lame results.The characters are superbly depicted, but it's interesting to note that's one tale of seduction where we never see or hear the POV of the seduced.
Hilarious
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
When two gay men set their sights on an unhappy honeymooner in Italy, a disturbingly funny series of events take place. The story ends on a similar note, hilarious, and yet somewhat frightening.
