Review:
?His work belongs with that of Poe, the Marquis de Sade, Charles Baudelaire and Georges Bataille...? San Francisco Chronicle ?There can be no doubt about the power and originality of his writing. Sheer force of style raises Closer to the level of a classic? Washington DC Post ?He is the most exciting, innovative gay writer in the USA. Never was spiritual decay more lovingly dissected?

Physically beautiful and strangely passive, George Miles becomes the object of his friends' passions. In the blandness of middle America, he embodies authentic experience. The author of "Frisk" and "Wrong" produces a chilling examination of narcissism.
