Synopsis

Take a handsome, blue-eyed 16-year-old kid living on his own, drop him in the heart of a busy city that never sleeps, let 30 years go by and see what happens. Step into the time machine, back to 1973, the end of innocence, before the age of email, voicemail and cell phones. Follow his life, his loves and his many encounters of sexual explorations and merriment over three decades of mixing with weekend millionaires, night crawlers, rock 'n' rollers, and daring, attractive women.This is a narrative where you can read between the lines. It tells of fragments of my life which took place in Toronto, where I was born. The story maps my life to song quotes of the day. It tells my experiences of being a non-conventional person living in a conventional world. It describes my discovery of the female psyche and how it never changes, regardless of age.I have led a very interesting life. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed writing it.

About this title

About the Author:

At 46 years young, I started to reflect on where and how this all started in my life. I remember back in August 1973, while everyone else was thinking about their careers, all I could think about was having a lifetime dedicated to sex like the author of My Secret Life, a book about a Victorian Londoner?s sexual escapades over 50 years. I was apprenticing to be an upholstering material cutter. I was all of 16 years old just about to turn 17 and the sound of upholsterers? sewing machines whistling and singing about weekend vacations let me know it was too soon for me to die. I mean why should I be caring about a half an inch for sewing? I was a young tiger in a cage and it was a matter of time before I found my escape and escape I did!

So here I am sitting in Karen’s brand new tinted Silver Beetle after leaving a cavernous wine bar and three glasses of red wine later, passionately Frenchkissing this 36-year-old Parisian French red-haired, green-eyed Jacqueline
Kennedy look-alike who I’d just met two hours previous and talked to on the
telephone two to three times at the most—pinch me. She stared at me and I
saw Queen Nefertiti (trans: the beautiful one is come)...
Voice—mail from Karen:
Hi Baby! It’s me. It’s 6:30 on Thursday evening. I just got home from work and I am exhausted. I’ve had two very late nights, two business functions the last couple of nights and I haven’t had a lot of sleep. I just poured some red wine, I’m having a cigarette and then I’m going to bed, but I just got your very hot messages. You know you are a complex person, Henry. You are just a very hot, sexy guy. I have to say I’m listening to your messages and they do turn me on. Oh, my God! I like the way you call me Baby. Now you’re probably going to call me Baby more but just the way you say it, you have a way of saying things that tells me that you’ve got this incredible wealth of knowledge of life experiences. I also sense that you’re quite an intelligent person. You’re probably your own worst enemy but you know that. I don’t know what I’m going to do.
