Summary: A great undiscovered novel.
Comment: I'd heard about this novel by the author of the classic "City of Night" and "Sexual Outlaw" but I couldn't find it. When I finally got a copy of it, it was worth waiting for. I can't believe this novel is out of print, can't believe it's not listed among "modern best". It deserves to be there. Its range is awesome--characters from all walks of life--porn, Bel Air mansions, the streets, evangelical TV, Mr. America. The three main characters that roam throughout LA and all these lives are memorable; and the writing is superb. There's a section called "On Nothing" that is really amazing. I'm recommending this book to everyone, and I hope it'll get the attention it deserves.

Summary: A multli-character panoramic view of modern Los Angeles .
Comment: A brilliant, daring, sensual novel with a varied cast of characters, including a female porn star, a wealthy Bel Air family, a Chicano kid among punk-rockers, a gothic evangelist, a sexy TV anchorwoman, a male stripper, a vice cop on the prowl, two teenage street hustlers in love, a black maid from Watts. Three mysterious young people, a girl, and two young men, link all these disparate lives in a startling climax. An apocalyptic view of Los Angeles, from its mansions to its dark streets, freeways, sunny beaches. A terrific novel full of insights and surprises. One of Rechy's best.

Summary: Rechy's most accompolished novel; why is this out of print?
Comment: As per the above statement this book is emotionally devastating at times. Clearly the author's most focussed and encompassing novel, summing up most of the themes of his other novels.
