"A writer of seemingly limitless range." - Michael Cunningham, author of The Hours. This Stonewall Book Award-winning novel traces the life and unrealized dreams of Arnold Hawley, a gay African American poet. The story opens with Hawley's lonely old age, traveling backward in time to his arrival in New York City of the 1950s. A meditation on isolation and sexual repression, the book also offers an acerbic look at the literary world and the frustrations intrinsic to artistic life.
