A wonderful story that could have really been
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Wow, life really is vibrant in this wonderful story. In every tale there is truth, and I dare say it exist here in.
Exquisite writing; a must-read.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Saul's Book ranks among the top three gay fiction novels written (others are Baldwin's "Giovanni's Room", and Holleran's "Dancer From the Dance"). The writing is vivid and stunning; the characters are extremely well drawn such that you understand their motivations completely while despairing of their choices. A very compelling read. Come, see what great writing is.

I was expecting to see scores of reviews for this book.This is an amazingly good book. Not for the naive or timid. I read it 5 or so years ago and I still flash on it. Paul T. Roger's only book. RIP.
an overlooked classic

It's a shame more readers are not aware of this novel. It's one of the best gay-themed novels ever written.
Revelation, New York's sexual apocalypse clock ticking
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Mr. Roger's has created a sort of Pygmallion meets Midnight Cowboy during the explosive years of New York's Sexual wars while the Time's Square Sex-Clubs and bathhouses cruised into their twighlight. A crumpled postcard of New York found in a leather jacket excavated under the debris that obscures the seventies before sexwas officially declared lethal. Roger's is a prophet on the great white way where pedestrians follow a different light.
