Title: Complexities of gay relationships
Review: This is an excellent exploration of the complexities and subtle tensions of a relationship between Paul, a middle-aged somewhat disillusioned expatriate and Adrian, a young vulnerable hustler and waiter. The story is set against a bleak landscape of middle America with its anonymous and drab motels and diners. If you want a neat and happy ending you will not find it here. But the tone is fundamentally optimistic, showing that two very different and unsettled people can find real comfort in each other. I look forward to reading the author's second book, Uninvited.
