A debut novel reflecting the anxiety and dynamism of the gay community as it was on the point of extinction.
Beginning with a one-night stand in Paris in 1985, an unnamed narrator embarks on a physical and spiritual sojourn over four decades, from Montreal to Maussane, from Himachal Pradesh to Holland, and from the train stations of a divided Europe to Istanbul and the deserts of Iran with a cast of exiles, fugitives, and rebels. At once an epic journey through time and a love story to his chosen family, this haunting, lyrical novel in four parts explores questions of grief, statelessness, and memory, and is a meditation on survival in the age of AIDS.
